Hey, I'm getting ready to repack my Hindle pipe this weekend, and I've read a few places that you can wrap steel wool around the pipe first? I would really like to quiee the bike up, but will the steel wool make it louder?

Thanks in advance for any help!

No just pack it tighter with fiberglass. I have done several exhaust canisters and have never used steel wool.

 

what is the idea behind repacking an exhaust, and would i be able to do it?

 

rrasco,

Some aftermarket exhaust cans have fiberglass packing to dampen the exhaust sound. After a while, the packing can work its way out and the can will get progressively louder. On some of those cans, you can re-pack with fresh fiberglass to make it quiet again. Whether you can re-pack your depends on the exhaust can you have installed.

 

ahh, gotcha, thanks sparky!
