Hey guys, My girlfriend just bought a 2005 Buell Blast.  It has a Vance & Hines exhaust and carb kit in it.  She thinks it's too loud and wants to switch back to the stock exhaust. I read on a post here from somone in the same situation, and a suggestion of leaving it as is but pack the exhaust to make it quieter (only his exhaust is a Kerker). I researched and discovered some people used steel wool for packing, but I can't find anything about HOW to pack the Vance & Hines exhaust. Will packing the exhaust make it much quieter?  Anyone have a link to instructions, or can tell me how to pack this thing?

I was the one with the other thread on the same subject. I ended up going back to the stock exhaust for several reasons. A:  I already had the stock exhaust and therefore didn't have to spend any money! 2:  We are going to the Buell homecoming this weekend and time was of the essence. C:  As per ezblast's recommendation there is no need to re-jet the carb My wife couldn't be happier with how much quieter it is and it actually seams to run a little better. But if you must repack here is a link to another thread that has a link to a repack kit. other thread with link to a repack kit Although it has probably been done, I wouldn't recommend the steel wool, it does burn. I think a ceramic wool is what is called for in this situation. But that's just my opinion.

Awesome!  Thanks for that!  I'll switch back to the other exhaust and see how it runs.  Doesn't seem to be too big of a job to switch over.
