Fuel Moto e-Series muffler report
Thank you iclick for the excellent review!
The end plate is stainless steel which may get a bit of a gold hue, we generally recommend on duals if one end plate has more color than the other to simply swap the end plates and it will even them out. We are also experimenting with black ceramic coating on the end plate as well. Replacement end plates are about $15.00.
As far as the muffler itself it is very robust as far as discoloration and is greatly improved from the original WB E-Series design in several areas. We developed a pretty unique full length three stage stainless steel core. The baffle also runs all the way to the inlet to prevent discoloration on the muffler body, just like our Pro Touring mufflers.

Sorry - I missed that part even after re-reading.
Is there a cat in the 2008 pipe?
My 2011 had that gold color on the right fyi.

No. Certain CA models had a cat in the slipon or something but not his.

If you're willing to ride a spell to get to them, there are some good routes in the area. For starters, there are quite a few in the Baton Rouge-St. Francisville area (my stomping grounds) and the Creole Nature Trail near Lake Charles. There are also some good ones east of Baton Rouge in the Florida Parishes, some going into MS.
Pipes look great by the way. Like the recessed ends...

My 07 is still kicking and at 62K miles I decided to take it out to Jaime to have him sprinkle magic dust on it.
Congrats on retirement!

Exactly, the muffler itself is very well insulated against discoloration and has a very robust chrome finish, we want them to look shiny & bright for many years
See you Monday Steve, parts are ready to go and wrenches are ready to fly!
