Hey guys, anyone know how to DIY replacing the fiber inside the exhaust muffler? Like when the exhaust muffler fiber is almost finished or finished burned out, the exhaust wil become very very noisy...so in order to make the exhaust remain silence, maybe replacing or adding the fiber can reduce the noise of the exhaust ...

IF yes...then can someone guide me thru DIY replacing the fiber ?
i know there is some shop offering to replace the fiber back by paying a few bucks...but i wan to know it wit and add it to my knowledge :D
thanks

Erm... theoretically....

You would need to cut a hole using a circular saw..... replace the fibre.... i think got yellow type or grey metal type or something....

then weld it back....

of course then weld it back to the back of your car....


In a nutshell, if you have a welding machine, by all means... try it out... :)
 
if u have grinder/cutting tools n welding set, and welding skills, then i think no problem.. hehe..
fiber can be bought from shop.. can even mod with other fiber type also.. hehe..
 
thanks for da reply...actually wat is the real name of the 'fiber' in exhaust ? izzit fiber or something else ? i meant the exact name
 
its just exhaust packing fibreglass

white and yellow type

usually only white ones comes as sheets

yellow ones are just like cotton buds, terrible to work with and dun last long like the white ones

always use the white ones
 
can use steel mesh type at the internal perforated tube 1st. layer it 1st, then layer with fiber. this will make fiber last longer, coz steel mesh will not burn off easily.. but not sure the sounds like..
 
i got 1 fren arr, put in those green colour steel scrubber for washing ur dishes :stupid:

lets compare these 2 phrases,

1) yellow ones are just like cotton buds, terrible to work with and dun last long like the white ones

and

2) yellow one = cotton buds,terrible to work wit and don last long same as the white one

can u spot the difference in meaning ? :banghead:
 
yes i spotted the diff is like/same..
but i really get confused in your sentences LOL...if u say unlike then i get wat u mean directly ..

chill bro no need bang head geh : /
 
hi guys,jst bought a 5zigen bordermax 304 inlet 3" out 5".the condition is ok but 1 prob,b4 install took the exhaust by my hand & shake it then could hear some sound.cant see any fiber left jst little.or broken?if fiber is gone would the exhaust make more noise?thx
 
knock n listen 2 the sound...if the fiber still kaw kaw then it should act like sound proof...
if u know n u hear the sound like milo can then fiber habis edi

yes, it sounds like milo tin( LOL ) already intall but sound not so loud.hmm some say if fiber finish exhaust will produce loud sound is it true?is there anyway for me 2 replace a new fiber? thx
 
yes its not loud...but try throttle more...like 5k rpm o higher....u'll hear vr loud pecah sound
 
hmm...hard to tell with 304 bordermax cuz its a screamer...if u can shake it then its time
 
oh ya hor....5 chicken....but the screamer should sound solid in sum way too...it cant sound the same wit burnt out fiber
 
Bro..
Those fibres are actually fibre-glass correct...can stand heat
E.g... some partition ceiling uses this corret? (yellow)

The white ones...like fish aquarium filter use, cannot right? Cannot stand heat...
Tq
 
well actually u can buy white and yellow fibers...
normally when we tune our dirt bikes...yellow fibers are used in 2 stroke exhaust....
and the white ones are normally used in 4stroke bikes....
white ones last waaayyyyy longer than yellow ones ..they tend to burn off faster...
juz go to any motocycle spare parts shop....not those workshops....
they have it there...itz kinda cheap actually....

juz my 2cents.....
