V7 stock muffler question

[guzziv7fan]

Do they get louder as they break in?

I doubt it, unless by "break in", you mean get they old and the silencers rot out.

Is there any packing material in the stock mufflers?

If there is fiberglass or equivalent, it could get matted down over time and the mufflers would indeed get a little louder.

And of course, parts do wear out, parts of the baffle could crack or open up a bit.

I haven't noticed either, but this sort of thing is too subjective. Not to mention when something happens so gradually the person most exposed to it would be least likely to notice right?

Nope, still sound like crap.

Nope, still sound like crap.

How would you know, didn't you ditch yours before 1k miles?


Wait, that would mean the only stock one you've heard lately is mine...  ::(  :wife:   :BEER:
