Young pulsars inside supernova remnants (SNRs) form a consistent physical picture, in which the expanding blast wave from the supernova explosion surrounds the central pulsar and its associated wind-driven synchrotron nebula. However, many young pulsars have no associated SNR, a deficit which has no single or obvious explanation. Here we propose ACIS observations of two young pulsars which lack SNRs, PSRs J1105-6107 and B1046-58. Models which explain the absence of SNRs around each pulsar make specific predictions for the morphology and spectrum of high-resolution X-ray emission expected from these sources. With Chandra, we will test both these specific models and the wider framework of our understanding of pulsars which lack associated SNRs.
