I have never heard of using steel wool. Cant you buy new packing?

 

[dirtyblaster]

i buy packing but my uncle told me that i am better off using steel wool

I've never heard of using steel wool. You should try it then tell us how it works. Do your own little experiment

 

[dirtyblaster]

i'm going to test it in a week or so i hope then i'll tell you how it worked

it worked way better that that crappy packing that you buy, but some pieces are coming out right now so i reccomend put 3 blue strips of masking tape around the packing so it does not blow out, after all it sounds great!

Interesting, I may try that on the 4-stroke

idk if that would work or not

 

[dirtyblaster]

it works but ti is really hard to get it to stay together when you are packing it so i reccomend get A LOT of steel wool

Only thing I use steel wool for is shining my exhaust tips on my car. I don't even have a clue what this packing stuff is. But anyway, steel wool works THE BEST on stainless steel cleaning

packing is a a fiberglass shreds that go around the core in a aftermarket pipe

Anyone know what happens when you put a match to steel wool?
I use Owens Corning fiberglass insulation.

the steel wool should not light when you put a match to it. Pretty much the only way to light steel wool is put some sort of electrical charge to it.
