So last night I finally got to repacking my cut down D&D. After running with no packing, I was hoping this would quite down my bike...didn't do too much. So in an effort to make my bike even more quiet, I started stuffing steel wool into the center of the can and it was working! Bike started to idle better, and the noise was really coming down. I was really hammering this stuff in there in hopes that it wouldn't fly out.

 

Anyone else ever try this and figure a good way to keep stuff from flying out the center of the can?

 

I'm thinking of jamming a wire up the center after packing some more steel wool in there again. Don't be fooled, I have also packed the fiberglass inside the can, this is just to baffle the noise.

 

i never tried the steel wool. i have tried the d and d shorty with no packing and that **** is loud as hell. +1 for trying something ha ha ha

 

eh?

 

get some wire mesh andput it on before the cap, so when you put the end cap on, it should hold itin place...just a thought
