does anyone know where you can get silent sport muffler pack wool in Australia?

if you cant find silent sport - I think it is FMF that does a wool type muffler packing as well - might be easier to obtain
-
But alas unfortunately NOWHERE near as good.

Yamaha sell a similar white wool in a bag for the 00+ 2 smokers. and the glass stuff for the pre 99'
probally just packs the same and easy to get ?
-
at the moment all i have is 'high performance muffler wool' by FMF. they do a better one called 'Q' or quiet Q or something, i dont know, but its ment to be a really quiet packing.
-
Weird as it sounds just plain old chopped strand fibreglass works very well

We always used rockwool for the 540 and 580 KTM(the green insulation wool ) that got us past the Decibel meter in Europe and worked a treat . Most others did the same ( exept a few trendies ) and never hade a problem to this day .
That reminds me of little Hans . He was selling apple seeds in the street . 3 for a Dollar .The Teacher walked past and said " What are you doing little Hansi ?" " I sell apple seeds , they make you smart " was his reply. "Well I will take 3 then " the teacher said , paid and walked a few Meters chewing the seeds.
He then turned around and confronted the boy and said " I think you ripped me off , I could have bought a kilo of apples for that money" " See " little Hansi replied " its already working !!!"
I think that goes for a few things in motorcycling ......

just checked out the latest ballards catalogue and they have DEP two stroke silent sport packing for about $12 a pop.... :)

That’s interesting because I thought silent sport packing was a matting type of packing and not the loose strand type. I was happy with the matting type of packing and that was really quiet but now I’m wondering if that wasn’t Silent Sport brand and was something else. I’m not sure if I should go for the matting type that you roll up around the tube or use the loose strand stuff
-
Hi all,
Just rapped my 73 XL 350 peter allen power pipe muffler with the mat type of packing I went from 114 db down to 103 db I also drilled all the holes in the perforated tube out twice as big as they were This has started to do the trick. I will now rap the out side of the header this should bring it down to 100db or there abouts
Cheers

Leith the matting is for the wrap around type inner cores and the loose fibre is for the type you have to jam in with a reamer (aka big screwdriver) take ya pick ;)

I sell muffler packing but I can see now I should have given it a trendy name. I was talking it over with my marketing consultant (my wife) & I said "Whispering Geoff" has a nice ring to it, she replied "Silent but Deadly" might be more appropriate. I asked her why she would want to name it after the dog, but she just turned & walked away. ::)

Silent but Deadly muffler packing as per my price list on the front page. The wool matting sheet is big enough to repack 6 of my mufflers.
Use the sheet to wrap around the core or slice into strips to poke into muffler bodies.
$33.00 - free postage to forum members.

ahh so thats the reason
-
Can you use pink bats??? ;)
-
You can, but they get hammered by the exhaust and the heat and you need to repack them before too long. Silentsport and "Whispering Geoff" :D are the way to go, but batts will get it done in the short term.... 8)
