How does one deal with this? The muffler seems louder and some discoloration had occured by the time I got home 3000miles later. Laser does not have a tech site. Thanks, Frank

I'm waiting for the factory rep to get back to me. He wanted some pics, so I sent him a couple and am waiting for a reply.

The two bolts that attach the mounting strap, should have nuts on the backside. What does the one remaining bolt have to keep it there?

I might be wrong, but there is no way to get a nut on the inside since the muffler is an all welded construction. You could try a "pop-rivet" there. Isn't that the mounting points for the Laser badge on the side?

The cutaway on the Laser website shows internal stuff that may have moved thru vibration-not sure. Still waiting on reply from rep. I'll post their solution when I get it. It has been a great product so far. Frank

I'm not sure what he used to plug the holes-they look like allen head bolts, but the nameplate was originally held on with rivets. Mystery solved. I am going to figure out some way to plug the hole-rivet I guess-and I'll stop worrying about it. Laser tech was very responsive-good to work with. Thanks everyone! Frank
