Pro circuit needs repacking?

[Blasterman96]

Ok I need to repack my pro circuit slip on, what should I use to repack it?

 

[scotj77]

steel wool is a cheap alternitive packing. it doesn't rust out or get saturated. I personally use the fiberglass batting that is made for packing silencers. the steel wool is louder than the real packing matterial

I used #0000 Fine steel wool And Pulled it apart some before I packed it inside the Silencer , It has been said that It makes it louder than the Fiberglass packing , But is Much cheaper !

 

[Blasterman96]

Well it can't be louder than a pipe with nothing in it

 

[blasterBruce]

You might be surprised !

 

[Blasterman96]

Would #003 or something like tht work

 

[Blasterman96]

Is it louder than a pipe with nothing in it

 

[blasterBruce]

I have only Used the #0000 in a silencer

I use Bolra's SS packing in my silencers, I like the way it sounds better than fiberglass.

 

[blasterBruce]

I've heard it Sounds different the way you pack it , The tighter the Packing the Louder it is , The less packing makes it Quieter from what I've heard

 

[Blasterman96]

I'll try what I got when I get my blaster back together because it is in the middle of a full repaint

 

[Blasterman96]

I'll try and see if it gets quiter

 

[blasterBruce]

There ya Go , My choice's would be Either the #0000 Or the Borla Stuff !

 

[Blasterman96]

K I'll try some different types of steel wool

just use what is suggested to repack the silencer, real packing !
not some hillbilly, redneck, found it in the shed, it sounds better, cheap azz nonsense.
i have also heard steel wool can get sucked back into your cylinder during the scavenging phase of the exhuast...is that a chance your willing to take for a measly $10 ?????

Yea, what I use is for automotive exhaust systems. Do like what awk says and never use anything but what the manufacturer suggest, preferable only OEM Yamaha or after market manufacturer name brand stuff. Remember the dealership is your friend.

What if I tried insulation or some sort of fiber glass

it will melt within 1 ride, tried it before in a pinch while REAL packing was being shipped

Dang, how lean are you running that thing? Pink (white at Lowes) residential insulation is rated for 1000 degree's F.
