For me it's two fold. The original muffler on the K161 shoots right out at the loader frame and leaves a little black soot. The straight pipe does away with that issue and just plain looks cool to me. And only cost me $5.00. So I guess it's a 3 fold reason. Performance, looks and cost. Oh yeah, it's sounds cool too. So 4 reasons now.
There is also very little weight with just a straight pipe. Now of course something could grab ahold of it and do some damage, but that's a risk I'm willing to make.
