If regular glass matting sheets aren't working for you I'm not sure you have any better recourse than Mr. Raask himself.

Reply #3 - 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

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.

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.
