symptoms? ( muffler repacking)

FWIW, the plugs are usually seized in mufflers and the ones I have removed, or people I've asked, have all revealed nothing so never bother with that either.

Not picking on HARLEYS. LOL There are times, while riding in the woods I would like to SHHHHH (quieter) the exhaust. (So as to NOT scare away all the Critters.) Any Temporary items used on race bikes etc, that are not to big to take along on a trip? I had thought maybe welding on a "Down spout"
I welded a downspout onto the end of my stock muffler which directs the exhaust downward at about 45 degrees. It seems to reduce that "whap" sound bouncing from a surface behind the bike. It was done to direct the exhaust away from the rear fender so the small effect is incidental. #ygrps-yiv-376967423 #ygrps-yiv-376967423yiv7033434663 #ygrps-yiv-376967423yiv7033434663 --
