Re-packing Hindle end can.

[Ericthejet]

My end can is due for fresh baffle fiberglass as it has been 3 years.

Any advice on brand, type, etc.
I see that it can be had for less then $15 and in two forms.
I used a sheet last time and rolled it around the internal baffle like rolling up a sleeping bag and assume this is correct.

Thanks.

Get thin clear package tape.
Thinner the better. It actually melts off.

I've used 3 or 4 sections of safety wire in the past but I'm liking the packing tape idea.

we still talking about exhaust packing, or your bedroom antics?

When I repacked my two bros, I used masking tape cause that's what was there originally. I ended up having to replace the steel wool around the inner pipe too, which is held on by mechanics wire, kinda like safety wire but more flexible.

I'm a big fan of Silent Sport loose fill packing. It's a bit different than the traditional sheet glass because you pack it in evenly around the perforated core. You get a nice full even pack without spaces and it's lighter than regular glass too. They claim it resists breakdown better as well.

Eh, I wish you were closer to me. I have some packing that I most likely won't use, ever. I got some a while back and they inadvertantly doubled my order...

+1. I like the loose stuff, just put the core back on there, and pack away, wait, what??

I used the wrap on my 900SS Ferracci exhaust. never ever want to do that again, got fiberglass everywhere, was itchy for weeks.

That needed to be quoted for archival purposes.

I just packed my muffler with Silent Sport. Went nice and easy. Fills evenly with an oval can.
