Posts: 2197 Spring, Texas Gender:	It finally happened! 09/19/23 at 07:41:18 My muffler bearing gave out on me last night on the way home from work. All of a sudden my harmonious exhaust note went from slightly subdued to rather raucous. I spent all night looking for a muffler bearing for the S40, but it was impossible to find.

In the time I had the second Savage , it went through two muffler bearings so I started making my own out of real steel. Truth be told : both of them were Harley take-off so I'm not sure they even count as real parts ?

Reply #9 - 09/20/23 at 07:59:20 I bet Harley builds all their mufflers on the cheap and I mean cheap. They know that’s the first oem parts that get shed and tossed in scrap steel bins in H/D dealerships nationwide probably worldwide. Good enough to get thru warranty , maybe.

Thinking of possibly going with the Emgo shorty. MM, I think you said you've used the Emgo shorty, was it acceptable or too loud?

I lost a third one taking a short cut through a bad neighborhood. It actually dropped off the bike as I was scooting along. I knew where I was so I just said bye, bye muffler and kept going. It was a very loud ride!!!

OoooYaaaa , Way tooooo LOUD ...

There was one of the Emgo mufflers that wasn't crazy loud : https://www.ebay.com/itm/334907282478?epid=171281058&hash=item4dfa07942e:g:ew...

I had one of these and it sounded great , nice and mellow not loud. But the chrome didn't last long so I replaced it with a 12" shorty . It was all down hill from there !

The one Lancer had on Rex , is the best sounding one I've ~~seen~~ heard ...

The 12 shorty sounded good on the 883 Sportster I had but it was really loud on my Savage . I don't understand why ?
