Well, I never tried to look through it,, but I don't suppose you can see all the way through, it should have discs on the end... *Unless it has the open end cap I guess.
But, it's a muffler made by Super Trapp, and the Discs on the end do the "Muffling" So I guess yes, if you have the open end cap, you'll be able to see through it.

you have the open cap on it. It's gonna be a bit louder set-up like that but you can change the end cap, try supertrapp website for all the tuning info you need on that type of pipe, they have a forum section with lots of info.

Yea, if you have the open end cap I'd love to know how it sounds. I would like a little more noise. I think I'll gut the CAT then see how mine sounds. After that I'll experiment with the end caps and discs.

recently put a jackpot 2/1 on mine w/nightstick,it's a lot louder without the cat. actually took a couple discs out to quiet it a little and put back a little of the backpressure the cat provided. I'm not big on loud pipes anymore, nowadays I'd rather not attract attention.

Yep, if you shine a flashlight in the open end it is a hollow tube. The discs are what does the baffling. It comes with 10 discs. An open end cap is equal to 10 discs. if you want it louder remove all the discs and put on an open end cap. Or, remove the closed end cap and leave the discs on. I heard one a couple of days ago with an open end cap and it sounded pretty good.

Thanks for the input, took it for a ride with my wife. It was getting dusk but felt like it cooled off the bike a bit and sounds much deeper. When you get into the gas it really opens up but at cruising it's not to loud. I think guys are right the guy I bought it from took off the end cap. No issues with the excessive cracking or odd idle. Works great so far. This is just a temp part when I redeploy I'll get true duals
