I just looked into both mufflers of my 09 Ultra, and the left side looks blocked. Attached are pictures of both sides, is this normal? Hope you can see, one on the left is the left muffler, and one with rust on the right is the right muffler.

 

different types on each side.

the rt side carries most of the exhaust, think of the left side as an overflow.

Just checked mine. Looks the same. That could be the dreaded 'Muffler Bearing' Problem.

 

So basically you are saying they are ok?? I just returned Sunday from Kentucky Bourbon Trail (1126 miles RT) and Sunday am going to ride around the Chesapeake Bay, and don't want any trouble. Good to go then. Thanks

 

yup that's the way they are (until you remove them for better performance)
