Title: Has anyone repacked their Raask? Post by built2last66 on 09/28/12 at 11:11:37 I can't seem to find the 1/4th in thick fiberglass tubes (socks) that work best with the repack, and I've wasted 2 rolls of regular repack.. $30 down the drain... where the hell do you get those darn socks? :D |

Title: Re: Has anyone repacked their Raask? Post by arteacher on 09/28/12 at 12:59:54 Ask Raask. (sorry, couldn't resist.) ;D Have you checked out fiberglass pipe wrap? |
|
Title: Re: Has anyone repacked their Raask? Post by NicholasTanguma on 09/28/12 at 14:23:08 I'm inclined to agree with arteacher--ask Raask. If regular glass matting sheets aren't working for you I'm not sure you have any better recourse than Mr. Raask himself. |

Post by built2last66 on 09/28/12 at 16:31:23 Raask doesn't use the standard fiberglass squares, he uses the "sock" type of 1/4th in fiberglass... which I'm having no darn luck finding... I have already asked him, and he vaguely states "you can find them at muffler dealers"... The Mysterious Mr. Raask :D |

Title: Re: Has anyone repacked their Raask? Post by rfw2003 on 09/28/12 at 18:29:05 I would give ceramic packing a try. It would definitely last longer then fiberglass packing does. |

Title: Re: Has anyone repacked their Raask? Post by Cavi Mike on 09/28/12 at 18:49:04 I've never heard of there being a difference in sound between fibreglass and stainless and I can't seem to find any "vs." results in a google or YouTube search. If there is a difference, it can't be by much. Fibreglass is mainly used because it's cheap and it needs constant replacement - good for the people selling you exhausts. |

Title: Re: Has anyone repacked their Raask? Post by Gyrobob on 09/28/12 at 20:45:12 One thing you can try with a total cost of three or four bucks is to use stainless steel scrubber pads. They come three to a pack at Walmart for maybe 2-3 bucks per pack. -- Cheap -- Deadens noise about 80% as well as GOOD fiberglass -- Lasts 10 times as long as fiberglass, which isn't saying much if you are starting off with EMGO fiberglass packing -- Sometimes it corrodes in a few months,.. sometimes it lasts for thousands of miles. I guess they don't control the alloys very precisely for scrubbers. See this thread for how I packed the EMGO muffler RYCA supplied us. It is in reply #247. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1304722902/247 |

Title: Re: Has anyone repacked their Raask? Post by built2last66 on 09/29/12 at 14:28:51 Serow, do you use any kind of screen wrap around the fiberglass? This Raask had a screen around it and I'm wondering if I should reuse it with the steel wool or where I can go to buy a new one, or if it even needs it.... |
|
Title: Re: Has anyone repacked their Raask? Post by Serowbot on 09/29/12 at 14:40:32 I would reuse it... The S-trapp doesn't,.. but it blows out really fast... They say to just use masking tape to hold the packing in place during install.. That doesn't work... Gonna' do stainless scrubbies next time,... and hold in place with wire... If the screen is in good shape,.. use it... if not, wrap it with safety wire... ;)... |
