For Those Using 450r Muff on 350X

[atctim]

Hey, I just saw something yesterday as I was pressure washing the 350X after some trail riding. I have the TRX450R muffler on my 350X and it appears that when the rear suspension gets maxed out (8 or 9 inches) that the bottom of the muffler hits the axle and the rear brake caliper. The muffler has dents in exactly those two places. The caliper and rear axle show no wear or dents or scratches, but the muffler does (of coarse they are way stronger). I am assuming that these probably came from Trikefest Moto-X as that is the only place where I have gotten alot of air, but I thought maybe a few of you could look and see on your if this is happening. I may try to post pics if this thread takes off. It is not very noticible as these are up and under the trike, but when you are looking, yo ucan see it plain as day!

Please let me know if I am the only one this is happening to.

I found that the same thing happens when the muffler mount bolt backs out of the stock silencer. Mine was bouncing in the summer of 03 and put some nice axle dents in it.
