Yamaha 225 Muffler

[225DX DUDE]

When my yamaha 225 is idleing with a stock muffler, I can put my hand behind it and feel pressure. When I give it gas, the pressure of the exhaust seems to lessen. Does this make sense? What could cause this? Let me know, Thanks

check for holes in the exhaust

There are no holes in the exhaust. I mean when I put my hand behing the muffler and give it gas, I hardly feel any pressure. Where is it going?

Check again, there has to be a leak somewhere. Do this. Completely plug the exhuast system with something and if it dies you dont have a leak. If it doesnt die you have a leak somewhere.

When it was idleing and I held a rag over the exhaust, it died. But when I gave it gas and plugged it, it didnt die. But I couldn't hold the rag on very well. It just doesn't blow out like I think it should when you give it throttle. Is this normal?

Must be. It may not die at a rev if your plugging it and cant hold the rag on very well. Sounds like youre fine to me.
