- January 12, 2018, 22:18:11 PMMy 2001 Drifter was given to me by my uncle who is no longer with us so asking him questions is no longer an option. I have no idea what kind of exhaust is on the bike. There is no branding anywhere. I watched a video on Youtube of an exhaust that looked similar and was a Road Burner exhaust. Ive never heard of them before.
The exhaust makes a clanking noise when revved to a higher RPM. I've been troubleshooting this for a while and finally found the issue. The Baffle is loose and moves freely inside. When I took the heat shields off I realised that this exhaust is not in two pieces and was welded together. Is this normal?
So after, I figured I would just pull the baffles out and ran into another problem. The exhaust end caps are stuck! And I mean STUCK! I've tried letting it soak in WD-40, letting the exhaust get hot to expand and pulled, twisted, tugged, kicked, punched etc... I even tried a Plumbers wrench and the cap didn't budge at all. I noticed before attempting it myself that one of the end caps is slanted off center as if someone before me was trying to get them off as well which ended up causing a dent in the chrome behind the exhaust.
Any suggestions to either of the issues would be greatly appreciated!
