Muffler question...

(1/1)

IcemanK5:
Hey folk's.

I'm going to repack a muffler. I would like to make it a bit quiter.

Question: Do you pack it loose or tight to make it quiter??

Thanks Kurt

Jopiz:
As tight as possible without being too tight. If you buy packing material from FMF or PC you should put everything in. I would recommend also sealing your muffler end cap with high heat resistant silicone.

While watching the FMF tech repack a muffler at Budds Creek I watched him and learned a trick. After wrapping the material around the muffler core tube he wrapped the packing with food wrap.....think Reynolds wrap.....it keeps the packing good and tight for installing into the muffler housing.
