That's strange. My muffler actually has a lip on the inside that stops it once it hits the pipe. It just so happened to line up with the rear mount. I will grant that the consistency of these exhausts is rather wide ranging as far as fitment and such. Even between my last Hawk and this one there were quite a few variances, and this one actually fits better. I had to tweak the heck out of my old one to get it to fit without touching the engine case and the frame, and then align with the mount for the muffler at the rear.

I have been eyeballing a muffler like this to hopefully tone it down a bit. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...d-7ae27c84d477
it's about 80mm longer than the ebay muffler, and the actual core and packing is the same total length as the entire ebay muffler. I am sure the packing in it is totally crap too, as they all seem to be lol.

The other one I have looked at is this one (the straight version). https://www.aliexpress.com/item/XUAN...77532e0enfN38m
Not too sure it would fit though without doing a bit of measuring.

I am just trying to decide if I want to spend the money to repack the ebay can and hope it helps, or get this one and then have to repack it as well most likely.
