Is there anything i can put behind the baffles of my Screaming eagle slash cut on the z250 chop to make it a bit quieter?


Wire wool just spits out sparks when i rev Rolling Eyes

Cheers
John

Another baffle? They do baffles designed for VW beetles that would slot into many drag-pipes.

Baffle Material?
https://www.mandp.co.uk/productInfo.aspx?catRef=501682

+1 for fibreglass, used it a lot when I had 2 strokes, never had a problem.

I have a vague memory of using straw with my Micron in the '80s. Not 100% on how reliable that memory is though Laughing The material they used probably just looked like it.

We had a similar problem with our CBR engined race car in college years ago. Drill 4 holes and put a crosswire in to hold the wool in place if your on the cheap cheap!
