Default Lost my silencer!!

Hey guys,

So I installed my aam single and ive been putting the silencer on and off, to see if it really made a difference or not. Well anyways, I put it on before hitting the gym, and I get out, drive to a gas station near my house, and look at my exhaust and the silencer is GONE. I can't believe it just disappeared. It goes on via a bolt, which I hand tightened, could it have unscrewed by itself and blown off? Or did someone steal it? Im not pissed, but really sad that I spent 45 bucks on it, and used it for two days before it disappeared. :[ Sorry for the pointless story, just wanted to vent and ask if it could have unscrewed itself and flown out, or if its more plausible that someone stole it.

btw, it was a bit flimsy and didnt fit too well. I could hear it rattle a lot when installed even with the bolt holding it in.

Im pretty sure it blew out. If you left the gym(it was on) and your next stop was a gas station when did someone steal it while the car was moving or at a red light lol

Now you have personal experience of it being a bad design so

^^What I meant was, I left for the gym. Got out of the gym after 2 hours, then went to the gas station, and found out it was gone. Im assuming it blew out, dont think someone would steal it.

without any threadlocker, anything hand tight will rattle loose very quickly. at least you know not to buy one again..

maybe retrace your drive. its prolly laying in the road.
