A couple layers of rolled up metal window screening might work fairly well until it burns up or falls apart. Check with a dealer who sells a lot of dirt bikes. They may have some aftermarket products for making a muffler quieter. That is where I got the screen idea years ago.

I have been using 0000 steel wool and i think that is the issue. Try a super abrasive thicker steel wool it should be much more durable and alot less maintenance. Also the sell muffler fiber packing for the repacking of sport bike exhausts.

Re: I did it! I cut my muffler off and added a new one.

Im getting mysylef ready to do a needle shim, for a better mid range throttle response. Waiting on my new gas tank so i cleaned out my petcock filter (which seemed to have done a good job of catching the steel putty). Gonna check the jets are clear in the carb so might as well raise the needle ehh !!

You still have the stock muffler? Put it back on if you don't like how much noise this one makes. You will never get the sound right, or the jetting, and you will spend more time fiddling than riding.

I dont mind the sound, but my right ear goes deaf after long rides, literally. I do have the stock muffler just in case. Just want to muffle it a bit. It rides good, but i was told i should do the needle shim.

Seriously, get some earplugs before you ruin your ears. Damage to hearing does NOT recover.
