repacking one of 907's exhaust
ive got one of paul's exhaust which has been great but now needs repacking.
been doing a bit of search, seen reference to a product in RS and talk of rockwool.
If cost were no issue what would be the best thing to put in?
What did Paul put in originally?
Cheers

I had one of 907s cans on my xflow I repacked it with wirewool and rockwool but if anything that made it louder than the stuff paul put in it.
Probably worth trying the proper stuff like wunoff etc use.

Don't use wire wool it'll disintegrate in no time. Powerspeed in Kent would sell you the pucker stuff.

Sounds like your sorted Mike.
For anyone else, they were packed with either f/glass, the solid slabs that brickies put
in cavities, not the puffed up stuff on a roll;
or,
Rock wool, again bought in slab form. Used to insulate steam pipes, industrial boilers etc.
Both are 2" thick and are cut into "polo's" with a pastry type cutter (or tin can would do) see pic.
26 orange or 20 of the brown in a standard can.
If you want something that lasts longer I believe it's called ceramic wool, technical term, "the white stuff".
