MICRON MUFFLER PROBLEMS

[spyderbitten]

Anyone own a Micron experience these problems?

1) Constantly repacking every 1000/2000 miles.

2) I have blown the front rubber seal out 4 times since Jan '09.

3) Finish (black to silver) is gone. Kind of an ugly purple now.

Not only does the Micron require constant maintenance, it is

very expensive. Micron packing over $30, the rubber seals went

from around $17 ea to around $23/$25 ea now. I feel like I can no

longer afford to maintain the Micron. Any else having problems?

I had to re-pack very often also but I've installed a Juice Box and got it to run a little richer and pipe re-pack is cut in half, IMO a Micron without a juice box is way too lean and too much maintenance. If you have a Juice box just richen it up.:thumbup:

No Magic Neon is a very good source for a Juice Box :thumbup:

I've had my Micron for 4,000+ miles and have had no problems or needed repacking. I opened it to look a couple times and everything was just fine.

Thanks for the replies. I see either a JB or a different exhaust system

in the future.

mine did the same thing, after almost 2 years and the ugly purple color i switched to the carbon fiber two brothers. it has a little more deeper sound and it is so much lighter! i found the canister on ebay for $120 and i got the spyder midpipe from two brothers for $100. i'm hoping it'll get rid of the surging i've been having lately!
