Can I just add to this thread that I purchased some stainless wool off ebay I think about 1m length by 2'' wide, I drilled the rivets again removed the tail pipe after it was rattling its tits off after re-packing with acousta fill wadding only...
the acousta fill wadding done exactly what I said on the tin, I only loosely wrapped the box and on removal of the tail pipe the whole box was packed tight.
to stop the rattle I wrapped the stainless wool round the end of the perforated tube ( the whole lot ).
you couldn't see the tube at this point at all.
I poked a small hole in the middle again and teased it apart ' slightly'
the end of the toda tail piece is tapered so it sits inside the perforated tube so the stainless wool acts as a packer between the tail piece and perforated tube.
riveted back up again and she's purring away like a content cat at all manner of revs.
DONT CUT YOUR TODA!
Hope this helps anyone who ever needs to re-pack a toda exhaust. :xgrin:
