Not too bad, but I read here that it's not good for the muffler - I assume the weld points may eventually crack. Don't want that. I read T-Stan's and Troll's solution (http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/tbracket.html) and frankly still can't figure out how to apply that to this mounting setup.
I removed the muffler and header pipe assembly today with the intent to isolate the mounting points. Sure, I can add rubber grommets to both the upper and lower attach points, all four bolts, but there's still metal to metal contact at the bolt heads and nuts, and bolt hole mount pass-through(s). Can't see where that's all that effective. Seems to me that the bolts would need rubber shielding around the shafts and each end. Now that could be accomplished by enlarging the bolt holes, but the roadhouse muffler exhaust is a mighty heavy rascal, and the bolts would eventually wear through the surrounding rubber. That's the way it seems to me anyway.
Is there anyone on here who has successfully rubber mounted and isolated a Roadhouse exhaust system?
