Walls if you looked at the pics above you will see berry little on it. I stopped there because I had other things to do that day. Other than the bottom being chipped the pipe is in excellent shape by most people standards. I have a direction I'm heading with the look of the bike and the SS just dosent quite fit the look right now. I'm aiming for a industrial/mechanical look. The front exit voodoo fits that theme a lil better.
Bump.......
Shes not a beauty queen on the outside, but internally shes Like new.
Pic through the exit showing the inner core and packing
Close up of the DEI Ti Header Wrap around the core.
Shot of the end cap and the scratches. Its possable to polish them out since they arnt really deep.

Just curious why no one really seems interested in this muffler. is it because of the chipped paint? Or is it somthing else? Fill me in guys. Im down for stripping the paint (even if it dont sell/trade), but Im not sure of the condition of the stainless shell. It had quite a bit of blueing and will deff need a polish.
My biggest question is why so few are interested in Drummer nowdays.....Has the fad passed....lol.

My only complaint is that mine is LOUD....lol Has that cammed out V8 sound. If I forget my ear plugs I can forget about hearing anything for a day. Its prob because of the way I packed it. If the current deal dosnt happen soon Im backing out and keeping it......even though a race pipe would be a good compromise for my situation....... Both me and the neighborhood Im in right now....lol.
That right there just turned it into a straight pipe. Sure, the packing will last forever that way, but I'd bet it made it louder than it should be.
It did increase the sound a tad, but not much. Just gave it a deeper thump. The core used in the Drummer are too large and after time causes the packing to pull through and blow out. I personaly was tired of repacking it and refused to pay Kevin to do it when all I needed was the materials hes using in his new pipes. Bristol Core....His suplier refused to sell me any of the products sold to KDFAB unless it was in bulk......even though ther web page clearly stated that custom orders were capable of being made. This was my solution and the only side effect was a small increase in deeper tones. Performance actually felt better than ever due to the internal volume of the pipe being restored to its designed specs. If I can find someone to make me a inner core with smaller perforations in it I will go back to just Packing , but till then ....this is it. The older Drummers cores have very large perforations and lead to packing blowing out.....he may have fixed this in newer models, but in the older design it just plain sucks. Im sure I have just kicked myself in the ass with this post, but I would rather everyone know why it was done rather it apear as a unthought out hack job in an attempt at saving money. At the time I was quoted $80 for the pack job PLUS shipping both ways.........current pack job cost me $45 and no shipping. Again no performance was sacraficed by doing this.....just gained a lil more of that look at me thump. I would prefer a Muffler thats a lil quieter, but I wont sacrafice another pack job for a 1-2 DB drop at cruising speed.
