Hi all my bike seems to have gotten louder recently
Can the slip on be repacked?
If so...is it a tough job?

Thanks in a dvance

 

They do seem to break in over time. I don’t know if they can be repacked. But, make sure the baffles haven’t come loose.

 

How do I check to see if they've come loose?
just take the end cap off I assume?

 

You can pull them out, but I don't think they have packing around them.

rk classic.

 

Most all mufflers break in and sound louder after use. The baffles are removable, so you should be able to repack them or replace the baffels with quieter ones. You might want to check with Fullsac to see what options they have for those cans. Or even with your local HD Dealer since it is their product, for any options they may have.

The hardest part, and only risk is if the screws in the end caps won't come out and strip out in the process. If you try this, I'd put some penetrating oil on them the evening before you attempt to remove the screws.

Thanks for the suggestions guys much appreciated
I will try that

 

What year/model ride? Are the mufflers originals?

 

If they are the Street Cannons, there's not really a whole lot to them and RK_Classic would be correct in that there is no packing around them.
The baffle is all of about 6" long but I supposed you could try some packing around it to see if it softens it a bit to give you the sound you're looking for. Pic of the baffle below.

I just had mine apart (had to order the special tamperproof tool to get the baffle out) as one of my mufflers has developed a rattle.
Thought maybe something in the baffle had let go but nothing much there. The rest of the muffler is welded/sealed so can't get in to see what's rattling

 

See if fuel Moto has a quiet baffle for those

 

Its a 2000 flhtpi with a big bore kit with 75000 miles on it
It just says Screamin Eagle on the side of the cans...nothing else
I appreciate the suggestions i got last week but I haven't attempted to get into them yet, haven't had time
