Packing...Remap?

I have been thinking about packing my exhaust with the fiberglass slilencer kits like FMF sells for Motocross Bikes (or similar product).

FMF Racing (Motocross) - Packing

If I do, will I have to reMAP the ECU?

The pipe I have are V&H Stepped Drag pipes w/baffles.

Thanks

If adding packing, you'll probably add a little backpressure and make it run a little better/richer. I don;t see the need for something so minor. It'll probably run better....

I'm about to try this same thing with my modified VH Quiet baffles, and use steel wool.

Nice topic here, I was thinking of doing the same thing, because my baffles aren't doing much to quiet it down and it's loud as hell.That was the answer I wanted to hear Dave!
