Just what's Inside those Rinehart Cans
I installed a set of Rinehart slip-ons before we headed to Daytona back in October and put about 1,100 miles on the bike since then, having been slidelined after getting rear-ended riding my Honda F6B home from work in November.
Finally got around to pulling the end caps / baffles out just "to see what's in the can." Unlike the Screaming Eagle cans that came on my CVO's there was no sound insulation, just the same coating of rust. I was surprised at how little flow is going through the left-hand pipe as evidenced by the lack of any rust on the baffle.

Did you remove the wrapping from the baffle or was it not there?

Is that with stock header and cat?

Yes, still sporting the OEM head pipe with cat.
Wow, pulled mine out, same thing. For shits and giggles, I will swap sides next year, maybe.
I too have stock headers but minus the cat. Obviously the crossover does not have equal pressure, flow is a lot greater on right. So, do you try to reduce restriction on left side or does it not really matter that much to performance at that point?
Here in Northern NJ its been real cold, interesting starting bike, easy to see the exhaust.
Thanks for bringing this up.

looks like somebody else has been in there. i'd recognize that permatex ultra copper sealant anywhere. great for sealing around hi temp locations.
do you do a lot of short range driving?
wonder why it would rust inside like that if you got them hot enough.

Very little short range riding. These cans were installed new out of the box on 14 October with 800 miles on the bike. On Oct 19, we rode the bike 450 miles to Daytona, put another 300 miles on in Daytona and then rode 450 miles back home. We logged another 200 miles on a pair of 100 mile mountain loop rides before I was rear-ended riding my Honda Gold Wing F6B on 21 November, putting me off all bikes through early January. Photos were taken in mid-December.
Rust happens to bare, untreated metal... draw your own conclusions.
Did a little experiment this morning that has helped me understand why the left pipe looks so different from the right pipe; one pipe blows and the other sucks. I sort of knew this based on other "dual exhaust" systems I've had on other bikes, but it was interesting to see the visual.
