Go to your local auto parts store, and buy a $5 bag of fiberglass mat. That is all the stuff is. And as stated, no, it will not harm your engine at all.

Default Baffle packing

I have a 2008 Heritage, stage 1, with the Khrome Werks 3" Slash cut mufflers.

I recently removed the baffles to compare tone and the packing was destroyed.

I realized I prefer the tone WITH the original packing vs. without packing and now cannot seem to identify their packing and wrap "blend", as it looks like multiple layers.

Aside from the photos looking like a decaying bird carcass, any idea how I can reproduce this type of packing/wrap to restore the original tone?

It looks as if it begins with a glass wrap, followed by a glass mat(about 1/2" thick), and then all wrapped with a paper type material, which I have not seen anywhere.

I've gotten baffle wrap from Fuelmoto before, but it looks like they do not have it anymore.

V&H has a blended wrap that you can see at this link- https://vanceandhines.com/products/2...in-packing-kit
