I read somewhere that steel wool can be used for exhaust packing, anyone know the truth to this? I'd asume it would be harder than fiberglass to "burn out" since it's steel, but how does it work as far as sound deadening?

 

Never heard that before, sounds dangerous to me, I will let someone else try that one!!!

 

take a 9 volt battery and touch it to a piece of steel wool and see what happens.

wouldnt put that in my exhaust

 

say find an old flash bulb for a old camera ,break it open and guess what you'll find , thats right very fine steel wool .

 

I have used it, no problems. But I would go with Fiberglass, the steelwool is harder to work with.

 

so yours didn't catch on fire?? how did it work as far as sound deadening? I'm not really interested in doing this myself, I've just heard a rumour that it can be used and would like some more info on it. thanks
