Loose inner exhaust ?

Something sounded buzzy today, so at the end of my ride, I could only find a 'twangy' sound on tapping the exhaust. Too hot to check now, but is this common, or likely?
cheers

OK, I'll bite . What's a twang? A buzzing coming from the exhaust ,I'd be looking at the heat shield at the front of the muffler first. Then the muffler mounting bolts.

tapped it with a rubber hammer and it sounded 'twangy'. While riding, something sounds loose, like a sheet metal piece. I may have to take it off tomorrow to check. cheers!
ps: everything else is tight.

There have been other forum members who have had the inside of their muffler come apart.
This could be your sign that you need a DYNA muffler!
(And....some DYNA mufflers have come apart after many miles).

Dyna done a year ago, the ex manifold has 'twang'.
Also, I apparently have lost a fibre washer from the sprocket cover, as it is also 'twangy'. Further investigation warranted! cheers!

A Twang is a musical term.

If it's buzzing inside the header you should be able to find it cold.

At 42k miles I've burned out two Harley mufflers so far... I seem to get about 20k out of them...
No rust here,... must be the hellacious temps...

Found the 'twang' came from the sprocket cover missing a rubber O ring/ gasket on one of the three bolts. Exhaust OK !
