Default Am I crazy?

I had Screaming Eagles installed on my 07 Low Rider. Liked the sound...just what I was looking for. But the last few rides I've taken the sound seems different...muffled and not as loud or sharp. Is it possible there is an air intake problem or something....or could I just be nuts?[sm=biker.gif]

You could be nuts or perhaps you're going deaf? Or...maybe it's just a little soot buildup?

You are probably not crazy, but that is a difinite possibility. It might be you finally got used to the sound and it is not as loud to you any more. Just a thought.

Soot from the gas. As it builds up the sound changes slightly.
