Dent in muffler

Got a rather large dent in my muffler last time I was out on the trail, does it need to be replaced?

 

A little dent like that is nothing to worry about. Keep on trucking, and don't worry about it.

 

Thanks, just what I was hoping to hear!

 

Nope, just might alter the exhaust note a bit. Take it you've never rode dirt bikes, dents, dings, etc. in exhaust pipes and cans are pretty standard. Now you got a memory. Lol.

 

Time for a muffler skid plate!

 

I actually ride a crf250r, but I spend most of my time with it in the desert and sand so I guess I've never managed dent it.

 

Definitely, these trails in Colorado bite!

 

There’s a video floating around of a couple guys with a motor on a dyno. They baselined the motor, put a bunch of dents in the exhaust, and dyno’d it again, and it made either no difference or gained a hp lol.

You’ll be fine as long as you didn’t crease your exhaust shut.

edit: found it. It made more power!

It's going to explode this coming Tuesday, no doubt 'bout dat.

 

Gotcha, not an MX'er. My old bike, miss my 16 crf250r, great bike. On a 19 yz250f right now.
