How to Quiet a Motorcycle Muffler

    Repacking the Muffler

    • 1). Drill out the rivets securing the muffler's end cap using the bit provided in the re-pack kit.

    • 2). Remove the muffler's inner core carefully, pulling out any remaining exhaust packing material.

    • 3). Wrap the new exhaust packing material around the inner core. The material should be wrapped snugly without over-tightening to allow the exhaust gases to expand into the packing.

    • 4). Slide the freshly wrapped core back into the muffler.

    • 5). Re-attach the end cap using the pop rivets included in the re-pack kit.

    Installing a Slip-in Baffle

    • 1). Measure the inner diameter of your muffler. Universal slip-in baffles are available in a range of sizes to fit the multitude of aftermarket exhausts. Alternatively, many exhaust brands offer a slip-in baffle specific to their products.

    • 2). Clean the inner rim of the muffler.

    • 3). Remove the mounting screw on the baffle.

    • 4). Slide the baffle into the muffler gently, checking for placement.

    • 5). Align the baffle with the mounting hole on your muffler. If a mounting hole is not present, it is recommended to drill a small hole into the muffler.

    • 6). Apply a drop of LOC-TITE onto the mounting bolt and screw the baffle into place.
