Repacking Silencer.
I have an FMF Turbine Core II Q silnecer. I'm trying to repack the silencer and was wondering how to get the silencer material out from the other end. It has three screws on the stinger end and then that part slides out. If you look into the shell, you can see the outlet part and some packing tucked around the outlet part. It looks like rivets hold that part in, but there is one screw on the bottom that I think helps hold the stinger in. What do you have to do to get that rest of the packing out? Drill the rivets and take it completely apart or just try to hook this stuff and pull it out? I tried with a long screw driver but the packing is to loose to get a good grip on, it just tears. The replacement packing from FMF is longer than the pack that comes out with the stinger end, so it leads me to believe that the left over packing still in there has to come out. Any ideas????????

Well, I took mr. Wibbens advice and took it all apart. There was a point where I asked myself why the hell I tried this. But it all worked out and it was a good thing I did take it all apart. There was small little black rocks back behind the packing at the end of the pipe. I figured it was a mix of dirt and smooge. I cleaned it all up and put it back together with self threading screws and it worked out great. Now next time it won't be so hard to get apart and I'll know exactly how to do it.

Fuzzy - Stock silencer is staying on our KDX also. My older boy runs a KDX 200 with rev pipe and TC2 silencer and I'm not sure there is any real performance gain with the TC2 other than lighter weight.
My younger boy's KDX 200 (w/PC2 pipe) seems to come close in the over-rev department to the FMF rev pipe; maybe the larger canister volume is helping.?? One day I'll have to slip the TC2 on the PC2 pipe and see if I can notice a difference in the grunt department. Definately do not miss packing another silencer!!

The way I left the silencer, it should be alot easier the next time around.
I was reading somewhere that the chamber design has more affect than anything else on pipes. It's how the sound rezonates back to the cylinder from the pipe bulge area that creates the extra power gains. The sound waves created in the chamber actually helps the intake and exhaust breathing. I guess technicaly it is the size also but it's also the chamber design too.

Take the parts into a GOOD hardware store like TrueValue or Ace. Not Home Depot or Lowe's or any other place that hires high school girls who couldn't answer a question such as yours and then force you to do your own check-out.
A real man, who has experiance using real hardware and tools will provide assistance at a smaller store. Those stores are usually a franchise and the owner is likely to be the person helping you find what you need. That's what I do. That way, you will end up with the right hardware; perhaps stainless steel instead of tin junk as well.
