Be careful with this. I looked at the home depot, and all I found was some wool labeled "rustless", which I think was chemically treated regular steel wool and not actually made from stainless steel. Any sort of galvanizing or coating would burn off in the exhaust system. Let us all know how it lasts. I ended up buying a bulk roll of stainless wool from an industrial supply company, would have loved to only have paid $3.00. Plus, you need to PACK the space between the core and silencer shell. Don't be shy with the stainless wool. It should take some force to get the re-packed core back in, even with it wrapped onto the core using safety wire. buret@... wrote:

i think i should be able to handle that but just to make sure: with packing i should use around 8 discs so there is no way to not have any packing and use less discs to compensate?
