Anyone wrap their baffles with header wrap?
Just as it says.......
I recently packed my mufflers with high temp packing and it was gone in short order..... Like 150 miles........
So has anyone wrapped their baffles with the fiberglass header heat wrap? I am considering trying this but figured I would throw it out there......
What were your results......
I have V&H twin tip rounds with dresser duals....... Looking to quiet it down a little.
Thanks

That's an interesting idea. I also did not think that when I packed my V&H slip-ons, it lasted very long. I did get a few thousand miles though. I have since gone to RH tru-duals. Haven't had the need to pack those yet.
If you wrap, keep us posted. It will be way more expensive on the front end but may last longer.
It may also be louder as the wrap may cause the muffler to act like a straight shot. Good luck

Header wrap might be too thick. I put fiberglass cloth around mine and it worked pretty well. The fiberglass separates and pokes out from the baffles into the exhaust pipe which adds a little backpressure and quiets it down a tad. It doesn't work extremely well but it does make a difference. I personally wanted it a little quieter and deeper so I bought quiet baffles for my exhaust. If I remember I'll snap a picture of the old baffles and see what they look like.
I use the fiberglass packing from the Dirt bike dealer in my ProPipe, Its cheap and I like the sound. Others have tried stove rope ..... check #6 post https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...n-baffles.html
