That's right, the scoot is going to have a brand new muffler shortly. I don't think I've mentioned it but I took the muffler and the heatshield to HP Coatings for an application of their shiny, polished aluminum, high temperature coating. I've been waiting as patiently as possible to get the call to come pick up my shiny parts. Yesterday I finally got a status call from HPC. It seems that they use a tank of vibrating ceramic beads to put on the polish after the coating application and when my muffler went into the polish bead tank, a cap came off one of the 3 openings and the muffler filled up with ceramic beads. Which the guys at HPC have been unable to shake out! So they needed to know exactly what that muffler I left them was designed to fit so they could order me a fresh one.
So now I'm waiting for HPC to receive a new muffler from Yamaha and for the plating process to be re-accomplished. Its going to be a couple more weeks before I can pick it up I suppose. I'm sure glad I didn't wait for riding season to get it done! http://www.hpcoatings.com/am/products/products_heat_hipercoat.aspx
