Repacking exhaust
I feel really stupid about asking about this but i have never had the privilege of repacking an exhaust before. I have a FMF turbine core II and I already have taken the end cap off ( the side that connects to the expansion camber)
I have gotten most of the old crap out but it seems like there still is stuff in there and i have no idea how to reach down in there to get it out. Any help?

Natural selection favors Smart people, so nature selects morons to be slow and dumb for tigers and stuff too eat. But in our modern world there just aren't enough tigers.

They disassemble pretty simply. End cap needs rivets drilled out - you can replace with screws if need be. Clean it up real good, removing all the caked on crap on the tube, etc. Wire wheel works well for that. Then re-wrap silencer packing around tube as tightly as possible, cramming the whole sum bitch together, then hold with some tape. Final alignment is a bit of a PITA but it works.
When I got my 500, it was missing ALL the packing in the PC silencer. Was real loud and twangy. New packing made all the difference.
Good luck!

The CR500 is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste...

especially on a SA silencer...Final alignment is a bit of a PITA but it works
cant really notice on my 500, but on a 125 and 250 it makes a huge diffrence in low end torque to have fresh packing in there
and blown out packing sounds like crap
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

Make sure all the little holes In the center pipe are unclogged I use a torch to heat it up and burn the carbon out
If you don't clear the holes don't bother repacking your waisting your time!!!!!

Dude I know I will probably get flack for this but that packing in the very end doesn't look burnt or oil filled. If you don't want to drill the rivots, "F" it. Clean the holes up, that is important, repack it and leave that chunk in there until the next time...its not going to be that long before you are back. Once it gets burnt it will fall out....buy yourself some time and get the rivot gun for next time. It depends how much spooge you have in there weather its normal or not but some black crap is normal.
