Exhausts are not simple tubes, they are designed to expel air in certain way across variety of engine speeds. So shockwaves come out as air pluses from expanding gas, get this wrong and you can get your pulses actually restricting air flow. Get it wrong the other way, and they will actually suck air of of the egine as the valves open"¦
It's not as simple as removing baffles/air flow restrictions. Other wise your bike would be fastest with no exhaust pipe or headers what so ever (baring the noise of course) and Moto GP bikes would have open headers. You need certain back pressure, shock wave pattern for swirl/burn pattern in cyclinder. Even dragsters have stubby pipes
Tuning two strokes, you'll know you need to re-jet whan changing cans. Listen to morris minor and the exhaust notes sound "messy" but on modern cars, they are clean (make sense"¦.hmmm"¦)
anyway
So Mivv/Akaroprovic cans are £800 a pop, after only using £50 of materials, so they can research this. This is why the "same" can won't work on a 1000cc GSXR, but will work on a 600cc GSXR, they look the same but inside the diameter will differ, as the engines have different exhaust signatures
Sysems like EXUP/YPVS all take this into account, they tried to giveback pressure/ good air flow(not the same as fast air flow!!!) at low revs, opening up to give better/faster flow at high revs
When you cored your cans, you messed with exhaust length and inside diameter, and a hot exaust will behave diffently to cold exhaust. So you may have done nothing wrong, other than use a certain can to do something it's not designed to do.
Hope the above (2nd attempt) makes sense.
