MUFFLER CHIRP / TWEET FIXED FOR UNDER $5 IN 1/2 HOUR
Written by j539 on 7/1/2011 at 11:11 pm


I just had the exhaust replaced on my 1995 PC800. There is a rattle somewhere
in the new exhaust; I am not sure where it is coming form. It does not appear
to be coming from any brackets or mounting hardware, but from somewhere "inside"
the exhaust.
Also, I think the original exhaust was somewhat quieter, but I am not sure (my
exhaust ha been somewhat louder than it should be for a couple of years).

Do you think it might be the same issue?

Thanks for your input
