newberydr Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Hi guys I just bought some used T-5's with Cascade silencer and was just wondering if I shook the silencer should it make any kind of noise? Cause when I do it sounds like something is loose in both of them? Sorry for the dumb question. Quote
AKheathen Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 no, there is a baffle in the middle you can see when you look inside, and it is wrapped in packing, usually fiberglass, like house insulation. the packing does burn out though, and needs to be replaced when it does. new packing will resore the bottom end power a little, so open them and check. there is a how to on packing, so do a search :thumbsup: Quote

Dick Wheels Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 The packing is probably all burnt up and it does help a little with ne packing. I run my dg's with no packing because they have and awesome sound to them without it. But to each their own Quote

You need to take them apart an repack them. :thumbsup: Quote
