Would this be safe?
Just as a temporary thing I was toying with the idea of putting some
fiberglass insulation in my glasspack mufflers to help deaden the sound a little... Would that be safe? Isn't there already fiberglass packing in the very small surrounding chamber on these mufflers? I'd be worried that the heat from the exhuast might actually catch the fiberglass on fire. Could that happen? I know this isn't an ideal or permanent solution but it would be nice to just quieten these glasspacks down just a little bit before I pick up some turbo mufflers. Thank you. -- Travis http://jeepadventures.dyndns.org/jeep.html The meek shall inherit the earth. After I'm finished with it. :wq! |

Fiberglass insulation is real fine and would most likely melt from the heat. Turn up the sterio a bit. :) |

Re: Would this be safe?
Do you have tail pipes behind those glass packs?

Re: Would this be safe?
Nevermind, I read somewhere else that you do not have tail pipes. If you get
new mufflers ans still have no tail pipes, you won't be happy. You need tail pipes so the mufflers will not be so noisy. I run a header with a MagnaFlow muffler and a tail pipe that goes over the axle and out the back, and the sound is very nice. Before the tail pipe went on, it was way too loud. You might object to the noise with the glass packs and tail pipes, but getting a good muffler and still no tail pipes won't be much of an improvement.
