Buellers...my 09 muffler rusting pretty good. Warrantee til July this year. Wondering if I should just coat/paint this one or get a new one and somehow have it coated before replacing? Is there a preferred ceramic or other coating that will last me the next 20 years of Ulying? Euly | ||

I wouldn't bother. Just ride it. Some here have had good luck with barbecue/stove paint. I of course just ignore it. | ||

Get it replaced under warranty then take the new one and get it coated before it has a chance to rust.  Or get a nice stainless pipe from D_adams. | ||

yeah, a quality ceramic coat job won't cost more than $50, especially on a new muffler | ||

They replaced my rusty muffler under warranty. I had the new one ceramic coated for $100. . | ||

Rusty muffler means it's being ridden like it should be. That's some thick steel to worry about rusting through. Seems frivolous to warranty a rusty muffler. | ||

The muffler will rust even sitting a box on the shelf. Happened to mine. Does it hurt functionality? No, but it looks like total crap. If you can, get HD to pay up for a new pipe. Don't lose sleep over it though. | ||

Just paint it without removing it. A new one will be no better and you'd have some nut-jockey who cares nothing for your bike putting it on. | ||

What sort of a stainless pipe does Dean have? | ||

He hand makes them, he just ordered a whole bunch of materials to make a whole bunch of XB mufflers, it similar to the Drummer SS in terms of looks. I got one of the 1125 versions on my CR. | ||

Thanks all. Is Dean's muffler identical to stock then with same internals? Euly |
