On another thread I brought up purchasing this muffler: www.ebay.com/itm/140943878128?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 . I have unpacked it and dry fitted it on but I was surprised I can see straight through it. I never noticed it in other stock mufflers that I installed in the past. Is this going to be a loud glass pack like mufflers I used as a teen on cars many years ago? I know my wife won't like that. I don't think I can still return it if I use it. Also I found the manifold bolts loose and noticed a small area of black soot where it must have been leaking. I also noticed it was black and sooty when I removed the header pipe from the muffler. Does this mean it's running rich ? Thanks for any help. GBY

I picked up a similar exhaust last year or so, that has complete air flow. The sound should be louder, but not too loud. A pleasant low rumble. I was quite surprised. As far as the burn marks,... those I believe are leaks in the gasket...just replace with new and tighten to spec. Enjoy your new sound, I think you'll like it.....even the wife. Also,..give it a try with the baffle and without.

Also on the scooter @2, i have a shorty muffler that is - well - short and straight through. It is louder, but a huge performance upgrade. Original pipe was less than 0.70 I.D, while the new pipe is a full 1" I.D. I leave the neighborhood at low throttle since the engine is still cool at 6:30am.
You should be able to see it in my library, under the Znen title in my photobucket I have not taken a recording, audio or video.

THAT is a VERY nice exhaust system...
I doubt if it will be all THAT loud. I think you'll find the scoot runs well with it. Just enjoy it... You might want to check the plug to see if it's leaned out, but other than a slight re-jetting you should be "good to go".
