OrlinEngh Posted May 22, 2012 Share #1 Posted May 22, 2012 There is something in there that sounds like a little rock or a marble. How do I get it out of there. I havent taken one of these apart the outer part is in nice shape so it would be nice to keep it. I took it off flipped it around shook it and it wont come out of there.

Guest Rev'n Ahead Posted May 22, 2012 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2012 I shook it, and shook it, and then shook it some more... and didn't get the marbles out of mine... left them in there. If you have any great ideas - which do not include drilling out the baffles, I'd be very happy to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted May 22, 2012 Share #3 Posted May 22, 2012 Is it the muffler or collector box you speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted May 22, 2012 Share #4 Posted May 22, 2012 I'm guessing its a good time for the RK muffler mod. The cutting rewelding etc sounds like a lot more work than its worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlinEngh Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted May 22, 2012 Its the muffler I had it off and you can shake it and hear it rolling around in there. How does the RK mufflers sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one "stock road king" kind of hard to tell where his mic was. Dont sound to loud though. I think the best representative is the one I think says screamin eagle from drivers seat. You know where the mic was and you can see what kind of engine respose will be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie1965 Posted May 23, 2012 Share #7 Posted May 23, 2012 I went from Macs to RK mufflers and really like them. The Macs were just too much for me, the RK's have a nice rumble and sound great at 7k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rev'n Ahead Posted May 23, 2012 Share #8 Posted May 23, 2012 Is it the muffler or collector box you speak of. it's the muffler for sure on mine. I had the system completely removed and the box was in pretty good shape... but marbles in the tail pipes... but I don't hear them when I'm driving. Just thinking that there is "extra" in there which should be removed to avoid restricting the air flow - but HOW do I get it out? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, I've not had that problem,, maybe because I drilled out the rear baffles and blew everything out,,,,, so I suppose maybe I lost my marbles.

OrlinEngh Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share #10 Posted May 23, 2012 I am going to give the small box cut a try. What ever is in there is small so it wont have to be a big cut to get it out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted May 23, 2012 Share #11 Posted May 23, 2012 There is no way on God's green earth that you can shake a 1stGen muffler and get whats in there out, and it's probably a piece of collector screen?? The muffler is a two chambered affair with a center baffle deviding the two. Normally the exhaust gases travel into the rear chamber then go forward thru a short tube into the front chamber, and then finally out the rear tip... When drilling out the rear baffle you are opening up the rear chamber. I think it was either Dingy or GeorgeS that posted picks on one open up a few years ago.
