• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Dumb question on repacking a muffler

Bought a Moose Racing repack kit Saturday and did my stock Arrow power-up kit muffler. The Moose kit even comes with new rivits!!
The hardest part was getting the caps off - I had to heat it up with a propane torch to expand the metal and break the old silicone seal, then they came right off. The outside of the old packing didn't look too bad and still had plenty left, but inside toward the core was really carboned up and the "steelwool-looking" stuff was in pretty bad shape. All back together and sounding quieter. Can't wait to see if I feel any performance difference.

I bought the wrap and a rivet gun. I will pull the can apart tonight...whats the tips...just wrap it around and shove it back or use wire to hold it?

Love to see a pic of a freshly wrapped one about to go back together :)
