[QUOTE="Neil, post: 315, member: 87"] If as you say the tips were cut off flush with the muffler then you need to either replace them with another stock set or cut the mufflers off at the header and put some after market or Harley take offs on. Requires a bit of mod work but can be done and will quieten them and do away with the gurgling sound. Most of the muffling takes place in the smaller section leading away from the larger section of the exhaust system, the "tail pipe" has an insert in it that has baffles and packing and if that's been cut off then that's it. Did the PO leave any of the tail pipe section? If so you can try an extension, that may cut down on some of the noise and the gurgling sound. You can get extensions from an Auto Parts Store and some of them have internal baffles in them. When you were checking the carb situation did you replace the fuel filter? Those cause more problems that you can imagine. Also at this age for the bike it's a good idea to replace the fuel lines too. [/QUOTE]
