i was wondering for a long time to ask this question. do we ever need to clean the carbon from the inside of the exhaust pipe. is ther einside anything that needs to be cleaned ever?

back home the motorcycle shops used to clean the exhaust from my Yamaha with kerosene oil, like washing from inside with kerosene oil and at the back (muzzle) of the exhaust there used to be a muffler. They used to remove the nuts and pull the muffler out (8-10 inches long), again clean it with kerosene oil and wrap a piece of foam on one side and insert back. This muffler is there to suppress the noise. Running without the muffler makes a terrible loud noise.
