ok i did as the guys said and filled my silencer with steel wool to try to get it a bit quieter. When i fired it up, i didnt notice a difference. i packed it in there pretty tight, could this be the reason? is it supposed to be loose in there?

you can also go to your local motorcycle shop and get some packing for the silencer,just ask for the smallest pack they have you will have enough left to do it again, i have heard to use steel wool but never heard it worked

ok but how tight should it be? should it be packed in there or loose?

i would wrap it around pretty tight, as much as i could.tighter it is the less noise can leak out,plus you don`t want it to rattle.just wrap it tight to where you can barley get your tip back over it,good to go!!hope that helped friend:)

yea thats what i did. i havent had a chance to take it out with the steel woll and ride it so maybe it will make a difference in the higher rpm's. thanks for the help

WPG Racer

really? i was going to put that pink isolation stuff in but th guys said that it would burn. they recommended steel wool. i know it burns but from experience with the stuff i know it only burns when its in contact with a flame.

Your exhaust isn't gonna be catching the steel wool on fire...unless you're spittin flames. lol. As for using steel wool...that's what magnaflow uses in their exhausts.

thanks for the advice but do you know how tight it should be packed?
