In the latest issue, Joe Minton talked about using fiberglass cloth as packing material. I have a loose packing material in my muffler and it has gotten louder over the last 12 months. I would like to find a source for cloth suitable to use for packing material. Joe, are you out there?
Thanks,

Go to ebay and type in muffler packing motorcycle. The sites selling that product will come up and display their goods. You can then see the brands they are selling and google them to see which particular one will work for you.

You might want to ask at Bike or Boat shops too. It may be hard to find but if all fails you may have to replace the baffles. On my first header installation (30 years ago) I thought it was just a packing material used in shipping and I ripped it all off before realizing just at the last moment it was part of the baffle, anyway I had the loudest Kawasaki 650 with a Kerker pipe in all of Maryland. I seem to remember my 20 year old girlfriend's father loved it.

Sorry to take so long to give you some more input on this subject but i have been mending from an accident caused by a 19 year old female turning in front of me, of course she tried to blame me since i went down and did not hit her van. isn't that the object, not to hit the vehicle? to bad i was riding with a cop, cited her ass on the spot! anyway, you can also use fire box door rope to wrap your baffles, it comes in a bunch of diameters and sells by the foot, very cheap and will last a long time. saw this on the net, google it and the site will come probably come up for you. can't remember the exact address right now.
