Problem Rewrapping Rush Baffles

Back in August I wrapped my Rush muffler 2" baffles with some Moose brand stuff I read about elsewhere on this forum. It lasted about 2000 miles. It's gone now, and I need to wrap them again because I put on about 12,000 miles every year. This time I want to do it right. So, rather than guessing what to use, I e-mailed Rush and asked for their advice on re wrapping the baffles and what to use. I figured they would know since they are the manufacturer. Well. they never responded. So directing me to ask them is not going anywhere. My question is this: What, if any, material works best and how should the wrapping be done? I don't want to have to do this over and over again. Or should I just pitch what I have and go with mufflers that don't need frequent rewrapping?

Try calling them, I called and they sent me their new upgraded packing free not even shipping. They know they had a packing problem and made it right

This probably trumps my idea which was to order the packing from Fuel Moto. I cannot remember the brand but they state it is best out there and FM is a very trusted vendor. Costs about $35+/- and shipping if I recall.

Bought some but switched slip-ons before I ever tried it.

I called RUSH and they promptly sent me new sheets of wrapping material. I rewrapped the baffles and the cool sound of my mufflers was restored. They're a company that stands behind their products. I'm impressed.

Well, considering the first three response you got (make that four now), you might want to call them (again). He he! You might get lucky.

That, or you might get a response from someone familiar with the process.

I have some Rush slip-ons in the attic. I agree that the packing that comes on them is weak.
