got a quick question and yes its dumb but i was out on the 450 today and noticed a little vibration buzz that is a new sound, so when i got home and i noticed that my muffler(stock) has quite a bit of play in it. i know that the mounts have rubber grommets to cut down on vibration but should the muffler be able to move back and forth pretty freely? all of the mounts feel fully tightened but it still moves, even moves around where it connects to the header as well. i dont remeber having play in it so is it normal or should the muffler be tight on there and not be able to be moved around

thanks
