I was reading another post and saw a response from 222..

..."These days, all newer ones seem to dyno 44-46hp. There does seem to be a lot less packing in the exhaust, but other than that, I don't know why unless they made a new casting and it was a little better on the head (pure speculation, don't write in the Bible)....

Which leads me to my question. Just what is the propper amount of packing when replacing the old stuff and how often ??
To what effect does too much or too little have on performance??

i have no clue LOL but all i no is all my packing is almost gone sept for like 2 inches of it at the bottom stopping the baffle from rattling and i like it this way better sound and i think it even goes better

 

I have to repack mine 2-3 times a year because the packing gets blown out. Im pretty sure that its there for not only sound but also to a certain extent performance.
So what gives ?????

 

house of pain.... pack it up, pack it in, let me begin.

 

I repack my pipe quite often....... Oh wait..... you mean exhaust?...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

Well I guess that answers that...

 

I have re-packed my Big Gun Exhaust a couple of times mow. Made a hugh differerance in sound and I think it made a difference in power too. I just bought a re-pack kit from my dealer. The last time I also had to buy the screen for the center as well, mine had fallen apart beacuse I let it go so long.

 

pack my pipe??? I thought you said wife !
