How to Repack an Exhaust

[BradZ_09]

Hey nice tut i might do it. With the taking out of the rivets, drilling them gets rid of them and makes a slightly lager hole right? So i need bigger rivets yes?

 

[I_THUMP]

no u only need a small drill bit to dril them out so the hole should stay the same size.

TOP JOB! I tried to take my spare exhaust apart today and had no idea on what to do, so tomorrow I'll be a lot more confident in what I'm doing. =)

BTW- LMFAO Home Brand scourers hahahahahaha, bah. if it works, use it! =P

you can buy 4 stroke muffler packing from "ballards" for like $12 the lot. the real stuff...

oi but a top thread! good work you have probs helped loads of people!

also how do you know how dense to fill it up with the packing? how much do u fill it up?

jsut did me 32mm big bore zorst from DHZ for me Motovert RX today.
didnt notice a drop in power but didnt notice much of a decibel drop either.
used 6 scourers, i fed them around in a circle around the center pipe and pushed them down with a large screw driver.

at work yesterday i got some fine mesh and played around with placing it in the muffler before the spark arrestor cone so it couldn't come out with the exhaust gasses, also jammed some stainless wool down there too,
seemed to quieten it a little bit not as much i hoped.
its still probably not under the legal limit yet, will play around with some configurations of the mesh in the muffler.

I tried some SS steel wool we had in the work shop. The spark arrestor didnt really work too well as there were flames soaring out the pipe. It took a minute to realise I used the old Steel Wool from the meths wipe down area. Made good viewing though. I almost Shit ... lol

The Large SS Steel Wool like in the pickie works a treat ... Mate Cheers saved myself a few coin.
