I'm making a muffler and is there anything local I can use for packing? Is there any difference between fiberglass mat for body work and motorcycle packing material?

thanks

 

yeah, motorcycle packing i think is usually in a bag type of container. Woven roving works for me!

hey cool , so you've used that Woven roving before? It didn't burn up? Ok I'll try it out thanks!

 

IT doesnt exactly burn, per say...

 

my buddy says he has to repack his motorcycle muffler every once in a while

 

ive herd of people using steel wool... personaly i have no experience with it but it sounds like a durable effective idea..... has anyone actually tried that?

I use the steel wool our Moms use to clean dishes. I have a local 99 cents store near me that sells 20 for 99c about 20 bucks gets me a full muffler . Works great, sounds awesome! I have yet to get a bad reaction to the way it sounds. I was told this trick by an old school race car driver.

Cheap, convenient and works great!
