I pulled the steel wool out today and replaced it with some 'glass. It was not the kind mabe for mufflers,but just matting for fiberglass repairs. I had the woven mat type,not the scrambled hairy looking stuff. I wrapped kinda tight and am wondering if it would have muffled better if it was a little looser in the baffle? Either way it DOES quieten a fair amount better than the steel wool. Under hard acceleration the noise level is pretty much the same,but cruising in town and on the highway the exhaust note is quieten enough now that you have to really listen over the wind to hear it.
It also took out a lot of the popple I was getting when I would let off.Not all of it,but most of it.Enough that I am not pulling in the clutch on long downhills anymore.
Thank Rusty, that link was great. I really want to do something like that. I have a hard time getting my earbuds to stay in when putting my helmet on sometimes. I wonder where you can get that putty?I saw the brand name Radians on it.On the hunt...
Awesome idea! Loud pipes save lives-gotcha. I'll ride behind you and let you clear the way for me
