Default Cheap fix for a rotten out muffler baffle.

Instead of buying another expensive pipe if your baffle insides rots out this is a cheap and quieter fix.

Have heard of Yankee ingenuity before,but from the looks of it,I'd say this is something that would come straight from some red neck living in Alabama or Mississippi..

A OEM Muffler for a 450 Foreman is $540 so his $15 fix looks good to me.
I,m cheap though.

I can't remember where I've seen it before, but I thought a company made a muffler similar to this.

Of course, it was probably no where near 15 bucks either.

There were a couple of different companies making stealth mufflers that looked a lot better than that but they cost more than that one. That little bit of overhang on the right side would be enough to cause me problems in tight spots.

Problem with those are they are designed to work with a fully functioning ATV exhaust not on their own. (See Video) They are just a "silencer" not a replacement.

This guys cheap fix set up works with a gutted out ATV exhaust, unlike the video.
