Long story short.... for some reason, I am having trouble with this one! Others that I have done before were real simple.... How'd you do it?

you got to drill the 6 rivets out at the back of the can ,then pull insert out with core, then repack it is a bitccccch

i just broke 4 F'n drill bits with these damn rivets... which is why i'm stuck now, and thought there was something else to it.... do you know what size rivets these are?

It looks like a snow blower with a high compression piston lol.

the rivets come with the re pack kit from barkers,so i dont know what size they were i just used them,wait till you go to put the insert back in ,thats where the fun starts!

what did the extra comp. blow the pillow out?

 

[boost addict]

It will last about 20- 30 Dyno runs and it's done at 11:1 compression. If the packing is in a pillow the packing material needs some improvement lol.

my packing was completely gone at 30hrs just hardcore trail riding with stock compression

make sure you align the billet end cap so the tip is oriented correctly when re-installing it. I believe the rivets are 3/16" and the do use a pillow it is not loose packing. i think you can buy a kit from barkers for $20 pillow and rivets. if you put the can in a vise as well it helps squish it back into shape to put the end cap in

this is officially the worst muffler to repack!!!!!! :steamed::argh:....

the DMC packing kits work excellent in most other mufflers and last quite well...
water, rich and lean conditions will kill the packing in a hurry

it's not the packing that's the problem... it's getting it back together!
