TOP JOB! I tried to take my spare exhaust apart today and had no idea on what to do, so tomorrow I'll be a lot more confident in what I'm doing. =)
BTW- LMFAO Home Brand scourers hahahahahaha, bah. if it works, use it! =P

also how do you know how dense to fill it up with the packing? how much do u fill it up?
jsut did me 32mm big bore zorst from DHZ for me Motovert RX today.
didnt notice a drop in power but didnt notice much of a decibel drop either.
used 6 scourers, i fed them around in a circle around the center pipe and pushed them down with a large screw driver.
at work yesterday i got some fine mesh and played around with placing it in the muffler before the spark arrestor cone so it couldn't come out with the exhaust gasses, also jammed some stainless wool down there too,
seemed to quieten it a little bit not as much i hoped.
its still probably not under the legal limit yet, will play around with some configurations of the mesh in the muffler.

I tried some SS steel wool we had in the work shop. The spark arrestor didnt really work too well as there were flames soaring out the pipe. It took a minute to realise I used the old Steel Wool from the meths wipe down area. Made good viewing though. I almost Shit 
... lol
The Large SS Steel Wool like in the pickie works a treat ... Mate Cheers saved myself a few coin.

i repacked my brothers pit pro 125rr , who ever owns one will know they r shit house loud.. or just myn lol.
but yeh i rang the local muffler bloke.. he said he uses pink bats.. the stuff u use to insulte ur walls... i absolutely packed it in. and it did shit all lol.. so had to buy one of those silencer inserts.. better idea i think.
has it worked significantly for any one else? or u all like me?
