Uf21 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 With re-packing does the packing have to fill the whole of the inside of the muffler or just be wrapped tightly around the core tube thing and not fill the muffler totally? Also is there a difference between 4 stroke and 2 stroke packing? The shop near me had no 2 stroke packing so I bought 4 stroke packing.

5150banshee Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 As far as I know packing is packing I've even seen guys use insulation from home depo, when I've re packed mine on my t5's it's always a tight fit, not sure about dmc Sent using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2strokeshees Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 4 stroke packing will work but wont last as long, insulation is what I use. Wrap it as tight as you can around the cores and use some tape to help make it tight, no don't fill the muffler completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uf21 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I did the packing today, what a cunt of a thing to do. Hope I did it right. Took me about 40mins. If the core tubes arent aligned properly will that cause any issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the core tubes arent aligned properly will that cause any issues? well yeah, why aren't they aligned properly? If its not aligned you might be plugging up the exhaust.

Uf21 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 well yeah, why aren't they aligned properly? If its not aligned you might be plugging up the exhaust. Well theoretically, the end cap would not go on if it was not aligned properly.... right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I've gotten pipes with the perforated tube so beat up that it would plug the exhaust. The wouldn't fit right, bent, deteriorated, or just gone. But if you force the cap on you could have fucked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uf21 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 hmm I'm gonna have to check it again. If I lossen the packing so it is not so tight and doesnt totally fill out the muffler (so I can get it in easier) Would that affect performance?
