Reband Pipes - LOUD

When Nev had it on the dyno you could see glass fibres coming out the exhaust. You'll find pretty much all the packing at the end of the muffler. I went for the reverse cone, looked same with fibres hanging out, thought Ric was going to put a bead of exhaust sealer round it.
 
Just spoke to Ric about this, He has agreed to send some more packing up to me and told me how to get into the packing to put more in..... I just got to lay off the loud till it gets here

What sort of packing is he sending you? Im using ceramic fibre(rokwool) and it is ok in the Jards.

Ric is sending some woven glass wool, cos he says it doesnt blow out of the pipes as easy because it is woven together ... I intend on wrapping the first layer with woven around the inner pipe (Perforated) then use rockwool on the second layer and bind it all together with wire then wrap a top layer over the wire to prevent resination.. just a thought.
 
Mittzy my bike ran smoother than it's ever run leaving Freds. Think you'll need to look into the stepper motor if he reckons that's the problem .. he's pretty f#ckin cluey on Rockets. Ponters exhaust wasn't overly loud when I had his bike after RDU.

Yes thats what I said to Ric, Ponters pipes were really nice and not that load.
He seems to think that the packing has moved (The forces of Dynoing???)
Yes I will look into the stepper motor when Fred gets back.... I wonder if that would be a warranty job, cos it is still covered.....Only Just
 

hi Mittzy i'm doing my 06 r3 at neville with rebands but i'm doing some engine work as well 10:1 pistons and cams ext , i spoke to reband about loudness he told me under 94 DB as i don't like exhaust too loud i have staintune that are 93 DB witch i find nice sound not loud but if i take out restictors there 98DB way too loud for me.
 

Hi Pete, spoke to the bloke that made the pipes, he says he has been trying different packing and says he has it sorted now.
 

It's a pretty common problem , usually when you get up in the klms though. Should be covered by warranty I'd imagine.
