Re-packing aftermarket muffler (Read 125 times)

caseyLA Full Member Offline Posts: 121 Los Angeles	Re-packing aftermarket muffler 05/05/10 at 01:57:28 I have an aftermarket muffler on my S40. It's the type with a baffle wrapped in fiberglass. It's fairly open and loud. Has anyone tried to pack additional fiberglass into this kind of muffler to make it a little quiter and restore some back pressure?

Came with no baffle and no glass packing. Packing it did nothing to the back pressure, inner tube is rather large, but it's much more quiet and comfortable to ride.

i got a super trapp that uses the packing..

the packing in mine always gets very hard turns brittle and chips away over time.

for mine, they only thing i noticed the packing did was stop the end of the baffle from ratteling inside there, of course when the packing turned hard and starts cracking i get new noises.... i said the hell with it after half dozen times or so

There is a lot of loose fibers in the packing that will blow all over everything if you start it indoors. I found this out the hard way, man that stuff made me itch
