silencer packing

[hardcore_rm]

i repacked my silencer last week and a mate told me today that instead of buying muffler packing u can just use insulation from in a ceiling, i don't really believe him but they are kinda made from the same thing aren't they? can anyone else prove my mate is bodgy?

I was thinking the same thing, It would save some $$$. But then it occurred to me that ceiling insulation may not be as resistant to heat as the real stuff. I'd hate to have a fire in my tailpipe!!!

Just my 2 cents.

yeah thats what i need just some people to clarify it, or someone who got bored one day and tried it

You can use regular fiberglass house insulation but it tends to clog up faster. There's no danger of fire.

Silent Sport/Race Tools has muffler packing products designed to fit the silencer of the specific bike. High tech stuff.

I've used regular house insulation for a long time.
I don't know about the longevity compared to the expensive stuff but I change it at least once a month so it's not a big deal.
It has served me well cost wise also.

I used Pink Panther last night on mine, a small roll was <$5.00 and will do 5-6 repacks. It seems to work just fine!!!

Thanks for the heads up!
