Will water inside my expansion chamber hurt it?

Post by turtle »

Not from riding but from washing. I want to clean the outside of the pipe since it is off the bike. Water will get in there unless I miss my guess. I will get it as dry as possible, but is there anything in the exapnsion chamber that water can damage? It's a FMF Gnarly pipe. Thanks.

Water in the pipe = ok
Water in the silencer = bad
