Just finished my new exhaust on my FZ1 and this one sounds way better! No high pitch scream just nice and deep, almost like a busa with a brocks exhaust or a old long stroke 4. Putting packing in this one was well worth it. It's nothing fancy but sounds great, I might go back and and some polished heat shields later but check it out.

What material did you pack it with, and where is the packing? That's so minimal I wouldn't be able to guess at what the insides look like. Rough drawing of the design?

I started with a piece of SS perforated sheet and rolled it to about a 1 1/4 od and welded it to a flat piece of that perforated. I wraped it as tight as I could with SS steel wool, then high temp fiberglass sheet, a little more steel wool then more fiberglass. I took the "insert" and welded it to the 3" side of my reducer then slide the 3" pipe down on top of it. Well it didnt slide, I had to keep working it down on and working the packing inside as I went.

heres some pics of the perforated material im taking about along with the reducers I made so you can get a better idea
