repacking toomy's

[slopoke]

how hard is it to repack a set of toomey t5 silencers? How do you know when you have enough packing in them?

It's easy but you need a good set of snap ring pliers for sure. Just pull the old packing and the center tube out after you pull the end caps off. Get some packing (I use insulation. Like the kind from home depot (the pink fiberglass)). Cut a piece off the same length as the tube and roll it up semi-tight so it will fit back into the silencer housing. Put a couple small pieces of masking tape around it to hold it together and then slide it back in the silencer and finish up. Done deal.

Its sounds like you need to repack them. It it what actually quiets the exhaust. I dont care about noise, but I like the look of the silencers, so I cut some copper tubing that barely fits in the silencers to where the stinger tube when bolted to the silencer is pushing tightly on the copper tubing. This way I never have to repack and I have the silencer look, and if I ever go somewhere where there are noise restrictions I just take the 2 bolts holding the silencer to the stinger off and pull the tubes out.
