jasonsb Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Anyone ever repack their silencers. I've heard it's easy but I have no idea where to begin or how to do it. Can anyone give some instructions on how to..what tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBrian Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 I'm not sure what silencers you have but it's relatively simple.When you do wrap the new stuff on make sure you don't roll it on tightly. You may need to cut the packing with scissors to the size you need. The old stuff you have may be a little tough to get out.It should slide out as a whole.How long has it been since you changed up your packing?

boonman Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 I have used good ol' owens corning fiberglass home insulation for a number of years. It has worked fine for me. I know there is bettr, longer lasting stuff out there, but I have a ton of the stuff at home. And I would rather wipe my ass with a broken bottle than buy "silencer packing" for a ridiculous amount of money when the pink stuff does the same thing...

Nightrider Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Depending how tight you pack the silencer.you can slightly alter the way the pipe comes on. A tighter packed silencer will favor top-end,while a loosely packed silencer will favor bottom end. It made a very noticeable difference on my 125 dirtbikes,I don't know what it will do for the Banshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBrian Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Nightrider is right. also depending where you ride loose wrapped packing will absorb sound better than tight wrap. Hey Boony! want to buy some silencer packing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylemaster Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 im with boon. i use regular R-20 home insulation and i pack it in and push it down with a blunt object nice and tight. doesnt last as long as that specail shit they sell ffor a rediculous price but for the price home insulation is it will last longer than the stupid fmf packing anyway in the long run you just gotta watcxh it closer.
