The scooter had been with her through every small heartbreak and triumph — late-night shifts, sunrise rides to the river, and the winter when she learned to let go.
Some premium exhaust brands sell cartridge inserts molded to the exact dimensions of their silencers for a drop-in fix. Step-by-Step Guide to Repacking Your Scooter Exhaust

Most aftermarket and some high-end stock scooter exhausts utilize a straight-through perforated core wrapped in packing material (usually fiberglass or ceramic cartridge packing).
