Third attempt at packing my torque hammer & hopefully done this time.
Quite a bit quieter without any power loss.
Two types of stainless gauze wrapped round the perf tube. to protect the wadding.
Course 1.5ml holes x 4 wraps & 100 micron gauze over that x 6 wraps & both tied with stainless wire, wadding just wrapped as tight as I could get it.
Just done 50 miles with no change in sound, so more confident that it's ok this time.
Smoked like a two stroke when I first started it till it burnt off the coating on the gauze.
All in all though a good learning experience.
Have a great day all.

Another 100 + miles today & still sounds like it's doing it's job ok. Much quieter at cruising speeds and deeper in tone, plus it doesn't set car alarms off in little villages. All is well until the butterflies are straight, even then it howls rather than sounding like two Manx Norton's with straight through mega's.
Quite pleased with the results.

After the resounding success of the latest rebuild of my Torque Hammer silencer, I decided to do exactly the same rebuild on my HMF silencer. Cleaned it up while I was at it.
It runs fine with my T.H. ECU although was extremely loud & very droney which was a bind after a couple of miles.
It is a great pipe though with very different characteristics to the Torque Hammer & should be a better sound as well now.
Pics below, any questions please ask.

Runs great & sounds much better than it did after it's warmed through.
Definitely not an out & out race exhaust, manages torque very differently, much smoother delivery curve from low down to flat out, easier round town & great for blasting around the lanes. Feels a little more restrictive & definitely not as exhilarating as riding with the Torque Hammer.

So....
Just a report on the HMF exhaust really.
I've been riding with this HMF for around a month, 750 miles or so and it still sounds great, nice deep tone & continues to perform like did after first rebuilding it, so hopefully no degradation of the baffling and quiet enough to stay under the radar. The Torque Hammer ECU was a little on the rich side for it, so changed the ECU for another that has the correct tune on for this exhaust, that was done after around 100 miles or so.
All seems fine so far.
