That would be the race muffler from the1999 and newer tubers. The exhaust ports are 2.5" on those models. you need a race header to match,not sure if the stock header reaches that far.

Stock header does not reach that far. There was an elbow made for those, but I don't know where/how to get it or the part number.

No elbow, the race header wraps around the motor and down under. It has longer runners than a stock header.

Both are correct. Race header wrapped around, but there's an elbow made for adaptation to stock headers.

Aluminum? Never seen an aluminum one before. Looks like one of the rear mounts was ripped out.

It's the original race muffler made for the Buell Race Kit.

Nope, not aluminum. It's stainless. You'll either need a race header with it or fabricate an elbow for it. Yep, rear mount is also shattered.

All of the factory race kit mufflers are stainless.

How are you checking to see if it's aluminum?

Sounds like you know your mat'l. Just wanted to make sure you weren't using a magnet to test it.

Perhaps someone custom made an aluminum muffler modeled after the race can?

I want to put some compression fitting in place of the stock crank case breathers. Does anyone know what the thread size is?

If you'd like some dented race headers to go with the dented can, I have a set from my M2 just collecting dust in my garage. I have an even more dented race can too, if you want to pull the mount off it. The can mount was welded to the bike bracket, though, so I always had to take the whole bracket off to remove the muffler.

Sure, PM me your mailing address, and I'll let you know how much the shipping comes out to. Or if you're coming down for Buelltoberfest, I can just give it to you in a couple of weeks.

Every tuber race muffler I've had or seen has been aluminum...although I'll have to get back to work to read the original catalogs in my desk. I think they mention the (aluminum) construction.

*OEM* tuber mufflers, at least for the S1W, were stainless. The earlier black painted tuber OEM mufflers were mild steel.

My tuber race muffler is stainless steel. I still have it in the box it came in. I never used it with the race header.
