Topic: Need tips on how to pack fibreglass around baffle

[Master Ted]

What is the right way to do this??? wrap it tightly, loosley, with lots of overhang down into the barrell or just the length of the baffle?

I'm no expert, but this method worked for me.

You want to get it as dense as possible, so try to pack it as tight as it will. Get some tape that will easily burn off when the exhaust gets hot. I used the kind painters use to mask stuff off. Wrap as much fiberglass as will fit in the pipe around the baffle. Then tightly wrap some tape around it to make it fit in your exhaust. After the tape I put some stainless-steel wire around the baffle.  I then burned off the tape over the stove (be sure to ask the wife), and that left me with a good working baffle.

Don't bother leaving overhang in the barrel, this will probably blow out anyway.

Thanks, I'll give your method a go.

Now really, is a guy who builds a motorcycle in the dining room likely to have a wife? Hell, if my crock pot isn't working on chili it's likely t/b cleaning hardware steeped in caustic acid. There really are guys that live like "The Worlds Fastest Indian" out here! Ha!

I admired your dedication on that one brother.

Building in the house...how completely bachelor.

Reminds me of rebuilding a moped in my dorm room 

Nice sir...very nice.

Leave the glass out, baffle in; it sounds better.  Not too loud, nice and throaty!
