I was wondering how long do you go until you change the packing in an aftermarket exhaust? Thanks! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I usually change mine at least once a year.More so if I get submerged in water.If water or mud clogs your packing,youll know it.The pipe gets about 50% louder than they already are.No kidding.Just change every year,only cost like 7.00 dollars or so.

 

Listen closely to your silencer while the bike idles. If it makes more of a pinging sound then a rumble, as in it seems to echo, then your packing is wearing out. New packing gives a bike that great purring sound. Also, the silencer will get hotter faster if the packing is out.

 

I took my packing out after a while riding with it and i have not yet put it back in.. sounds much better and did not loose any power.
i think im going to leave it out
