Stuck trying to repack my exhaust...

Yeah it was silver/white loose stringy stuff rather than the pre cut pieces

Thats the right stuff, but it doesnt work well when its packed too tight - needs to be a "light firm" fit, if you know what I mean

Yeah high temp silcone, just got it the other day, $15 at supercheap.

I better do my packing soon too

i used that stuff, no difference, it wasnt especially tight, i just ended up getting frustrated at how long it took to use the whole packet, it didnt even cover the whole core properly !?!?!?!?

I have a Scorpion that was singing off key and tackled to make it right, just in time it seemed as well. All the baffles were blown apart and everywhere. Anyway, whilst being pulled apart it was deemed to hard due to a dent, ending in a sliced up can.

What I was getting to was I don't recall any silicon sealant in the taking apart process. Should I use some high temp silicon goo before riveting it up? won't that be a complete mission to place?

Yeah I read that too much and too tight can make it louder. I made sure there wasn't too much. It's a shorty pipe so I didn't even use the whole bag. Hmmm.... wonder if I should get some proper fmf shit? My bro has the same setup on his just with a brand new fmf shorty and its way quieter

You need to get your hands on some silent sport packing. Its good shit and it lasts well. Not sure where from now as mine is real old. Packaging may have changed as well???? Its a bit like soft white woolly string?
Otherwise the advice here is good. Don't use batts they blow out real quick.

Pics attached. Dunno if you can read the instructions with it but here goes?

A bit of sealant on the joints never goes astray to help seal it up. BTW you can get black high temp sealer as well as red.

Mt eden motorcycles has it, I got some from there a couple months ago.
