I would hope your just kidding about the steel wool packing. If not what happens to steel when it gets wet. Yea rust, LOL but if not, just get the stainless steel packing. Coarse is what you need, just pack it in tight. Will almost last a life time. Gas, and clean it, repack good to go.


later

Keep that steel wool away from any electrical shorts. BOOM! 12 volts and oil soaked steel wool dont mix. Put some plain steel wool on your porch (away from anything else flamable) and light it with a 9 volt battery! hehehe!
Dam ironrod don't tell him that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] next thing you know we will be seeing DS 650 with steel wool all over it being blown up!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

definetly use silencer packing it is cheap and will last much longer, or just replace the whole silencer with a fmf set up or mbrp pipe , you will get more power and will look much better, stock pipe mods dont really work , they just sound louder,
