i repacked my silencer on my kdx 200
i used less packing and left it loser

Just a guess, but it's probably along the same lines as insulating a home. The tighter you pack it the less effective it is. I'd say you did the right thing (IMO).

The main effect of too-loose packing on my FMF is loss of bottom end power.
