Newb SLP Can Question

[skiinian55]

What are the little white balls? Spacers? Are those supposed to be there?

Brand new SLP silencer.

After it is coated I believe they put it in a polishing drum with those balls in it.

Huh. Should I install it with the balls in there?

Thanks for the info cascadesnowjunky!

Mine had them too. You can pop them out with a tool or leave them.

Does it matter if I pop them out or not?

Send an email to SLP and ask - they have great customer service. Let us know what they say.

Those are muffler bearings. Stock cans have a lot of them, that's why they're so heavy. SLP uses only as many as they need to.

Yes.... hard ceramic media used in tumbling the pipes following coating to "polish" or "burnish" the coating to a high shine.

Just sent them an email.

I'll update with their reply.

This is what SLP said:

"Hello,

Those are just polishing beads that sometimes get in there during the polishing process. Don’t worry about them. They will fall out as you ride."
