The mufflers and pipes on my car usually need replacing on an occasional basis, what about the bike?. My TOR's have been on my bike for at least 65,000 miles and were used when I got them. How will I know when they need replacement? Just curious.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

When one is tumbling and rolling down the road behind you,I would say it's time.  Thats a good question.

Do not know about the modern mufflers but back in the day when I was swinging spanners the vehicles that were used the most got the better life. ie. ones in vehicles that were left sitting corroded quicker!

My 64 BMW still has the original exhaust on it.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

I don't recall ever replacing a motorcycle's muffler due to corrosion. But then again, I don't ever recall seeing water (condensation) dribbling out at start up either.  Now, repacking the glas - that's a different set of rules.
