Will changing the baffles or wrapping with fiberglass require another download?

RE: Rinehart Baffles Replacement
so what you guys are saying is that there is no packing on the Reinharts as you receive them?
i have a set and a motor biuld and they are wild loud.
my hot rod buddy lives in a nice neighborhood and has even asked me to not get on the throttle when i leave his place it is so loud.
i don't want quiet i just dont want a ticket.

RE: Rinehart Baffles Replacement
All I'm seeing is perforated metal inside perforated metal. If you go to the Bub website and check out the FAQ's, they recommend wrapping them with fiberglass to really quiet them down. Again, the one I read from the Bub rep said he thought they sounded best wrapped. Guess that's something I need to learn how to do!
Maybe that's the secret to not waking up the neighbors.

RE: Rinehart Baffles Replacement
I have the quiet baffels in mine and often ride with a friend who has the standard ones. The difference is very noticable. I would try them without the fiberglass at first.

Im also interested in how these work for you. I think mine are a bit loud and was thinking about wrapping them. You can pick up fiberglass wrap at any place that sells dirtbike stuff.

RE: Rinehart Baffles Replacement
Another question. The fiberglass wrap, is it the 2" wide tape I see that can be used to wrap the exterior of an exhaust header, or is it the sheet of fiberglass material normally used as packing? I can probably find something today at an auto parts store.

RE: Rinehart Baffles Replacement
I repaced my stock baffles for the quite ones after doing a 98" build as the stock Rinehearts got close to being obnoxious. I noticed a big difference in sound and torque. They are now quiter that before the build w/ stock baffles. Mine are the earlier version mufflers acouring to Eastern Performance were I bought them, They had been in for 20K miles. Had to grab the ends with a vice grip and get them wiggling side to side and they came out w/o to much effort.

RE: Rinehart Baffles Replacement
So, will something like this work to wrap the baffles with? Found it in the McMaster-Carr catalog. 1/8" x 3" x 25 feet is $44.64. Anyone have another source for this type of material that might be cheaper?

RE: Rinehart Baffles Replacement
I took some fiberglass out of a set of Vance & Hines on my last bikes slipons. that is what i was thinking of using.
that stuff was about 1/2 in thick and about 12" wide and long enough to go around the baffle.
and as some one else said i am sure you could get it at the local dirt bike store.
