Remember when they mocked Buell for having the muffler under the bike? In one magazine, they called it a Pep boys muffler. Now, it is the latest thing: https://www.cycleworld.com/bikes/triumph-trident-t riple-tribute-first-look/?utm_source=Cycle+World+M C&utm_campaign=1f67f96850-CW_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_033124 &utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_3a16588fbb-1f67f96850 -453121801 |

I don't think it was the placement as much as the grade of steel used. It didn't take long for them to completely rust over and look like CRAP. |

I tried the antiseize method on my muffler. It kinda worked. Kinda didn't. Amazingly, it never failed to work as a jacking point. |

I sent the muffler of my '06 Uly off to Jet Hot. It stayed black after that. |

I missed the anti-seize method, what is it? I always put anti-seize on the joint. |

The anti-seize method is basically just coating the entire muffler with the stuff. I can't remember who did it first and posted about it here on BadWeb. I thought WTH, why not give it a shot. It baked on, hardened, then flaked off in spots, probably because I put it on too thick. Not exactly the best method, but like I said, it kinda worked. Sending it off to Jet Hot like Crusty did would have been better, but I was looking for a cheap fix... |

For a "Cheap Fix" my friend and I found sanding down the rust, and then painting it with Rustoleum Grill Paint worked just fine. |

On my second Buell I made a Magnaflow fit and went with a Drummer tune in a race ecm. |

Were you able to use the Magnaflow muffler as a jacking member? |
