Reply With Quotedid something hit that Jardine?? I cant see that just "happening".. and metal fatigue would have given some warnings... you sure that didn't start out as a crack running down the side of the canister?
The core wrap in my video came with the kit from ASB. I think the one Bristol Core offers now is slightly different. Al must have had a stock of a previous generation Bristol wrap.

There was a small dent on the bottom from before I bought it, but no crack or warning. I was on a long highway trip and somewhere between 300 and 340 miles into the trip I noticed it was louder and not a powerful as I was pulling away from a toll booth, then I noticed heat on my right leg. I pulled over to check it out thinking my rear header may have vibrated out and that's what I found.Originally Posted by Gloomshadow
I never knew about doing any maintenance on a muffler, not that it would have helped this kind of failure.
I bought a factory muffler off craigslist this weekend. My plan is to run it for a bit, rebuild the Jardine and probably sell it. Jardine will sell me a new shell for it and it obviously needs a repack now. I loved the look, sound and performance, but I'm a little gun shy of it now, especially after hearing some other stories of the caps coming off. I will upgrade to aftermarket later after the Jardine is gone, I have several options I'm considering.
