2009 FLHX Exhaust Problems

Very cool! Thanks. Right now it is at the dealer finally. Noisy fuel pump, lpugged exhaust and the topper...I paid many extra $$$ for a HD chromee front end and chrome calipers, and had it lowered with an HD kit. Everything was fine early on it road like a dream. When I took it in, the front end is beginning to feel like I'm riding on marbles! Not bad but definately looser than I like it.

Appreciate the info. I'll check that out! Good price.

No didn't try pulling the muffler. Sine this bike is an 09 and has 400 miles on it, I'm not stickin a wrench on it. I did have that thought though. My guess is, it's in the sho for 2 days now and they've not touched it yet, that the area of the haed pipes where they merge into one has some flaws in that casting that may not have been trimmed away OR the baffle in that one muffler is screwed up. They don't have fibergalss wrapping do they?
To clarify, no its not the primary side. I was referring to me sitting on the bike. My ride side sitting...fuel injector side of the bike. The left one is black as tar from soot the right one as clean as it came off the showroom floor! We'll see what they find. I too never really gave much thought to going to true duals but...I know my way around engines, grew up with a dad who built Indy cars, and win things are unbalanced or don't breathe efficiently, you loose power, gain heat and wear prematurely.

Thanks for the info!
