Okay, grown adult here. If you've been searching for muffler packing with any actual claims to reduce decibels, you know that key bit of information is virtually non existent.I recently replaced a bike with a new(er) MX bike, which came with a really nice, new pipe. I was so excited until i started it. For a bike guy to say "wow, that's really loud" should speak volumes. LOL The pipe is a Big Gun and it should have been called a Howitzer!So, I set out to find a good packing with a good rating. If you've gone through this process, you already realize how much bad press we get. How many leople there are like us, that would like something a little louder and little less restricting than the EPA allows the masses but not something that actually makes it audible from a mile away or causes reproductive issues in small animals.I have ridden MX bikes my entire life. I have also preferred them over any other type of bike because I ride a little harder and faster and for me, they don't break as often, if they're properly cared for.I also realize that other people use trails for mountain biking, hiking, hunting or camping and I'm not trying to make enemies than I already have in the neighborhood!This is significantly more quiet than the FMF packing and much cheaper. There was a *huge difference* in sound and price.If you know these pipes, you know they're obnoxious to almost anyone off of the track and I have the 5" Vortex Quiet Insert. UghRealize that any "straight-through" exhaust chamber carries a certain degree of amplification that can not be resolved by its own design but could easily be remedied by the manufacturer with a couple small deflection plates inside. That's another topic.Happy to 'report', there was a significant difference in sound with this packing. Roll it tightly, wear gloves and keep it away from your skin. I went out 2 weeks ago and after 3 solid hours of giving it hell with my family, there was no packing harmed in any part of those 3 hours. Usually within your first hour, you'll know if its got any longevity at all.I'll pop back and quickly complain if it turns out to be garbage and if I'm not back for a while, you know its still good stuff. If and when I do, I'll add the 5th star and add more information to the review.I'm confident, short of some Europe-only, $100 packing, I'll be back when I'm over 20 hours of flame throwing for another bag of this packing. I would be curious to see how it stands up to steady, constant heat. That's where a dual sport person could shed extra light.I'm also still looking for other options to quit the bike which will ultimately lead to a different exhaust. For now, this sounds pretty good for where we ride.

This stuff was easy to work with and did a great job of quitting the bike down to a respectable level

Used this product to insulate the baffles on my Rinehart exhaust for my Harley-Davidson Road Glide. It worked great and fit the pipe well. I would strongly suggest to pack this tightly around the baffle the first time, after inserting and removing the packing multiple times it begins to plume out and makes it difficult to repack inside of the exhaust. Overall, I would use this product again.

Can't complain. I bought the 1" thichness as I thought it would compress quite a bit. Had to split it in half to stuff it in. I have a whole lot leftfor future use. Bike sounds good. Lower volume, lower pitch.

I have maybe a couple hundred miles on my bike since wrapping my baffles with this and it hugely cut down the sound and seems to be holding up well. It also came with enough for me to repack them a few more times if needed.
