possum Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 Is there any difference in packing from fmf, toomey, or shearers. I need to do some repacking and was wondering if different packing changes the tone of pipes or if one is quieter? I have shearers and toomeys. Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 IMO standard house insulation works better than any of the packings that you can buy, and its WAY cheaper! Quote
Zwiser Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 you can use any packing for any different silencer brands, also steel wool works good and insulation Quote
2strokeshees Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 I use the FMF packing. Use on my CPI's, and FMF's. I will be using house insulation next go around. Quote
possum Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Posted February 19, 2012 Is there a way to tell if the packing needs replacement? I just have never done it. I know there probably saturated. Quote
KarTek Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 Yeah, the packing in my pipes is so wet, you could probably wring it out. How tight do you pack the filler? I'd like to get this done before I start riding again. Quote
Zwiser Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 whenever it gets to loud is when you repack it. Quote
KarTek Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 whenever it gets to loud is when you repack it. Nice... It's my first Banshee. I've never heard another one so I have nothing to compare it to! It sounds loud as hell to me! Anyway, nice bike you have there! That's what mine is supposed to look like without all the crap from the previous owner... Quote

mhoksch Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) What typre of house insulation do you use? Just regular fiberglass roll? Any benefits to insulation or steel wool or is it all the same? Edited February 20, 2012 by mhoksch Quote
06specialedition Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 What typre of house insulation do you use? Just regular fiberglass roll? Any benefits to insulation or steel wool or is it all the same? I think I used R15 insulation, no problems and worked great. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 I used 3M stainless steel pot scrubbers in FMF cans, 6 in each packed pretty tite. Good tone, should NEVER have to redo Quote
sidewayz Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 wow, are you guys serious ? im about to do my PC's . im wondering if there is any real performance variables . depending on what you use ? Quote
Larry's Shee Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I doubt it would be measureable even. You have a perforated core and the packing helps absorb the sound waves. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005NC6EH8/ref=asc_df_B005NC6EH81911001?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=nextagus0065103-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B005NC6EH8 This is what they look like. Be aware tis is the price for 6 dozen if them They also have simular items at Dollar General, lots cheaper tho Edited February 24, 2012 by Larry's Shee Quote
