| Sorry for the delay in replying Roadrunner.
I bought three rolls of exhaust packing off Ebay from simmiperformance, came to about 20 pounds including P+P. Ended up being just under a roll for each can.
I drilled off the rivets from both ends of the can, careful not to enlarge the hole in the carbon. Pulled off each end and removed the packing. To be honest the packing looked in very good condition but as I had already started!....
I wrapped the wadding around the perforatted tube, just over a layer and a half deep, ontop of which I wrapped one layer of "Rock Wool" (this was obtained from work so couldn't give you a price or availibility!) The Rock Wool is supposed to offer a little more protection from heat to the carbon sleeve.
This was all then taped down with some high temp resistant tape (again acquired from work....!) and inserted back into the can. Ends where then riveted back onto the exhausts using 4.8mm x 13mm Pop Rivets.
Expecting the bike to sound alot quieter I was a little disapointed to find out it sounded the same, the previous packing had been there since I bought the bike which was nine years and 15K miles ago!
I did keep a eye on the cans for the first few rides after just to check there was no harm being done to the carbon...  |
