MUFFLER CHIRP / TWEET FIXED FOR UNDER $5 IN 1/2 HOUR
Written by pgboyd on 6/26/2011 at 02:30 pm

No, it is not nearly that bad. One is a financial impact while the other is a
federal offense.

PS: get back to work on your bike.

Depot (1/4 inch diameter and 4" long) with nylon lock nuts and washers. I
removed the chrome shield and then drilled 3 holes right through the damn thing.
I put the bolts through and tightened the nuts. Chirp noise is gone, completely
gone!

did the first one in the center of the pipe's lenght and it did not fix it. So I
put 2 more on each end (about and 1 1/4" from the welds) lenthwise. That worked.
So you could try the end ones first or one at a time or just do three, like me.
I dont think the angle mattered, but I drilled at about 30 degrees ish from
outside to inside with the outside being higher. I only chose that angle because
it was easy to drill and the nuts wound not line up with anything and could
easily be tightened.
