I don't think it does. I haven't ever been quite that deep before. I've been close on a trusty ole Honda 300 2WD, but never where the silencer was totally submerged.

I think you should be fine as long as you don't turn your engine off when the silencer is under water. Also, make sure not to get water in the airbox. That can cause problems quick.

nope it doesn't hurt it at all as long as it is running but you have to remember how high you air intake when you get that deep your pretty much screwed unless you have a snorkle
