Title: best muffler packing material
Post by seviersavage on 12/03/09 at 09:09:49

I need to quieten down a dyna muffler thats been debaffled. What material is best to pack it with, that will last the longest?
There is still a plug that will hold material back. So I need to use something that won't burn I guess. It's for my wife, she wants quiet.
Thanks, Sevier

Don't think Dyna Muffs are packable...
Get a new one...

I suppose fiberglass, but it may need to be more heat resistant than household stuff...
Muffler packing costs about as much as a Sportster cast off...

If your wife really wants quiet, put the stock muffler back on. No one has ever said that it was too loud.

baffle must be removable and you "pack" wrap actually the os of the baff then use ss tye wire to hold it in place..
dont think dynas have removable baffle..

I repacked the stock muffler using some fiberglass I bought from J.C. Whitney's motorcycle catalog. It came as a roll and was made for muffler repacking. If you do repack a muffler start the bike outside, not in the garage or shop. The packing releases lots of fiberglass fragments which gets all over everything. It's a lot worse than regular fiberglass house insulation, this stuff makes you really itch.

I have a screaming eagle turnout and the only baffle is a perforated piece of sheet metal diagonally through the pipe, was too lod for me.
I put a baffle into the end of my headpipe, less than $10 on Ebay. and that quieted it down pretty well.
JC Whitney has some packing material and baffles pretty cheap
