all exhaust packing will break down over time so the simple answer is YES> (Message edited by lovedabueller on September 24, 2009) |

ok, i have no idea about this stuff so please forgive my stupidity on this subject. Ive never heard of anyone saying i need to repack my stock exhaust after so many miles like some of the other exhaust, so any idea how many miles till you have to repack the hmf? |

When it starts to sound 'tinny' and 'raspy'. Usually louder too. I wouldn't worry about it for a good 5000 miles at least. |

Your stock exhaust has no packing. |

"After Market" Exhaust that are normally Riveted together after time the exhaust packing will get hot.and start to break down slowly. HMF, D&D, FMF, ARROW, all these and more all use repackable material in the muffler, Ther are not "chambered" exhaust. they are basically straight through screen type baffles that use packing around them to deflect and absorb sound. hope this is understandable. it is to me. |

i do "think" that the hmf would be easier to repack than the D&D. thats just my opinion. and from what i have heard the D&D is really loud. just my .02 |
