Maybe this is why my neighbors complain. I am supposed to go riding tomorrow so i decided to do a little check on stuff. What the heck lets check the old school big gun pipe. As you can see i believe this pipe needs to be repacked. Now i have a question. Since there is basically no packing when i repack it should add a lot of back pressure. Will the extra back pressure make the bike run a little richer. Also I don't have any packing right now, but I have heard somewhere that you can just use insulation from a house.

it only costs 6 to 8 bucks to repack a core. house insulation will burn out to fast.

Yeah its only 6 bucks. I just ordered a new k&n air filter and outerwears and the repacking stuff. But i still would like to know how the repacking is going to affect the motor. Besides the obvious of adding back pressure.
