Just thought you guys would like to check this out only 4k miles on the motorcycle. Bought a 2015 switchback from the dealer and this was already on the bike it had 2k miles.

 

A perfect example of that first rate V&H quality!

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Maybe the muffler was loose or had strain on it? The break looks rounded in the pic, like it was run for a while like that ( but it could also be the angle of the pic ) The weld didn't break.

 

Easy enough fix and it's in a rather inconspicuous spot

 

Just joined and first post. Obiviously works for the other exhaust guys....And Welcome from Hampton Roads Virginia.

 

@fat00boy yeah I have rode with it broken for a few hundred miles. At first the noise was not very noticeable just a faint squeaking from a cold start but after a while it was very prevalent at a cold start and would go away when it got hot. I originally thought it was the baffle coming loose inside so when I took it apart to beat the baffle out of there that's when I discovered the break.

 

@Uncle Larry I thought about fixing it but I hate how big the muffler is. I think I'm going with the bassani radial sweepers for a 2 into 2 system or I might go with the road rage or the El Diablo systems for a 2 into 1 approach.
