I recently pulled the baffles from my Rush slipons and the packing material was all but gone. A quick call to Rush and they told me that new packing would run me $20 plus shipping. I checked around and most other sources were in the $20 range plus shipping as well but you could get two repacks out of them. I found a place that carries the long strand muffler packing in 60" x 15" which will give me at least four repacks for $10 The shipping was $6 which is not bad. The site is Bristol Core dot com. They specialize in muffler packing materials for motorsports. I repacked the baffles and they sound good. I thought to throw this out there in case someone is contemplating a repack.
Put a tight layer or 2 of 00 steel wool on the the baffle the wrap with fiberglass sheet,like the kind used for body repair. Then put the he regular batt type fiberglass on top.
I've done mine twice in 51k but haven't had to repack my Rush muffs for 2-3 yrs.
Had mine since 07. Actually my set was the first Rush pipes that the dealer put on.
the last time they sent me 4 pieces of matting as they now say to Double wrap them with the seams 180* (opposite sides)on the baffles.
Also I just use plain ole 1 inch wide paper masking tape to hold the material on the baffle. 1 wrap on the ends and 1 in the middle.
