Rattling Rinehart (Baffle Spins Inside the Case)
« on: June 20, 2013, 09:38:43 PM »

2011 FLHX, with 4" Rineharts.

Left side baffle is rattling, making annoying noise (think Chinese water torture).

Without removing the end cap, I can stick a screwdriver in the end of the muffler and rotate/spin the baffle.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Call Rinehart Racing... they will send you a kit to upgrade to current production...consist of a drill bit and a new screw and nut...seems you have an older version which eventually rattles ... new production mufflers are bolted in place with a screw and nut replacing one of your current screws in your end cap now...

I pulled my endcaps off to replace them with PM tips, and one of the baffles just came out. Called Rinehart and was surprised to learn they are just pressed fit, and are not bolted in. Anything to save a manufacturing buck I guess  ::)

So, are the new 4" Reinharts fixed?  Was planning on getting these but don't want any problems.
