Exhaust Question

I noticed a "new", unwanted noise coming from the right side Rinehart pipe last night. I have true duals with the "quiet" baffles.

Is it possible that the baffle has loosened and is rattling a bit? Seems to be most noticable when increasing RPM's from idle, and isolated in the right muffler.

Sounds like a loose baffle, but it was too hot to check when I got home.

Just thought someone might have crossed this bridge before.

Thanks

check out the 2 bolts on the back of the muffler on that side, and make sure the rubber piece is in place.

2007 Ultra Classic. Rubber pieces were replaced not too long ago because the left side was squeaking. Ha this sounds more metallic and internal.

Sounds like a loose baffle. Been there done that. Take off the end cap and use a small mallet to tap the baffle in. Mine on my 02' are pressure fit. Reinstall cap and ride and enjoy.
