Beware of muffler falling apart

[Grim]

My dealer has has 4 new vipers this month that had a piece of the muffler blow off. Each one had melted side panels and sheared off oil lines one even caught on fire. Yamaha is covering everything under warranty but using same muffler and panels are on back order like the rest of our parts. All sleds had around 2000 miles on them. I wish my yamaha had more yamaha parts than arctic cat crap. Mine hasn't blown yet but I figure its just a matter of time.

I have the stock muffler in a box off of mine if anyone needs one. No body panels though, thats what duck tape & bondo is for.

Between two dealerships in New Brunswick they have a total of 9 cases of this happening

My stock exhaust will last a long time, its in a box as well lol

Yet only where you are? Nobody else? You see these yourself or taking the dealers word? Just curious as nobody else has seen this.

Exhaust says Arctic Cat right on it, off topic so does the ecu....interesting!

Have a stock can on the shelf if someone needs it.

My stock muffler was just replaced..... Sounded very loud and rattling. TA Motorsports took care of me. They also said they have replaced 5 or so.
