Yes to what superhawk said. We use a high end fiberglass packing.


Thank you both. I expect that a stainless muffler will outlive me. But, what is the life expectancy of the packing?

Ha ! Same for me but in my case the packing will outlive me too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I hope to still have another 25 - 30 years in me.

I have pulled apart mufflers that are 30 years old still having all the packing.

Maybe I've set the bar too low. Maybe I should be shooting for another 50 years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

In my defense, when I saw Ben do the 1.7L/1.8L units (sound clips over there on that thread) I knew I had to have one for 2.0L and was waiting for him to get a good part to fixture off from. Then it all just came together.

Just pretend unit #2 is #1 and have that guy clip it. I'll vouch for the welds . . . . artwork! If Michelangelo were going to paint your car would you insist on seeing the paint samples 1st?

I’ll be willing to meet up for a bolt on and a sound test. I should be done by the end of the week, so get well and we’ll make that sound clip.

I'm in Metro Detroit.

A little jacked up at the moment from surgeries but would definitely be interested in a local meet up.

Hey Frankieshooz - Long time no see. Great choice- I am sure you will love Ben's work. His SS heat exchangers and muffler on my car will hopefully be exhaling exhaust very soon on my car.
