My GPR carbon fiber exhausts on my 01' Monster 900 are sounding pretty shot after 15,000 or so miles.  I was wondering if you guys knew of the best material I could get to have them repacked?  Cheaper is better if its all the same stuff, but I'm happy to pay more for quality.  I'll be having a pro install it, just need to know what to order.

Thanks!

Moose for me too  [thumbsup] I've not tried other brands, so could be Equal for all I know...

Done it twice (50-60 K km between) and the result was smoother running and the sound changed for the better IMO.

The reduced heat is probably good for the carbon sleeves too.

252,000 km/seventeen years - loving it

Thanks for the input.  Do you all know anything out there about the pre-formed pillow style packing like this?  http://www.partsgiant.com/p339046-moose-spec-31-muffler-packing-pillow

I got lucky when I opened my exhaust up to chop it that I didn't need new packing. Besides Moose I was always curious about Acousta-Fil. They have a couple different products. One is a blanket type and another is a boa type. Both are compact and expand once heated. They are supposed to make installing a lot easier because the material stays compact. Then you run the bike and the heat melts the string holding packing and everything expands.
