Do Rush Slip Ons Require Engine Modification?
- A slip-on muffler, manufactured by Rush, attaches directly to the stock exhaust tailpipe on a motorcycle. Typically, the slip-on muffler harnesses the emitted exhaust sound for a distinctly louder tone.
- The best performance output from the slip-on muffler requires engine tuning modifications. Air volume within the motorcycle's engine system must match the amount of fuel in the tank. The exhaust system, with the attached slip-on, contributes to the engine's air movement. The engine's fuel-to-air ratio must be tuned for conserving fuel and increasing horsepower.
- An improperly tuned engine can lead to discoloration of the Rush slip-on muffler. The chemicals exuded from the exhaust system may react with the surface of the slip-on muffler.
