does it matter what kind of fiberglass wadding you use? I took my vance and hines apart and all it had in it was black fiberglass. Do I need to put steel wool or fiberglass and does it matter what kind of either? The only kind of fiberglass I can find at the auto parts store is white fiberglass for bondo or body work.

The yosh repack kit comes with steel wool. The fiberglass in exhausts isn't found in auto parts stores, it's in home repair stores. It's the same stuff used for insulation.

Finally got around to shortening my Yoshi exhaust. I took 4" of the inlet side. A few pics of before and after in my album section.

Personally I dont think the loud pipes give us a bad name. loud pipes save lives. people dont look for us on the freeway, its a good way to MAKE them look for us. Ride Safe.

Nice theory, too bad it doesnt hold water

A lil loud sounds ok, anything with straight pipes sounds like shyt, not to mention it kills the bottom end.
