heck yeah, i've been meaning to buy some steel wool.
so I'm guessing that came out of the resonator... no noticable different in exhaust tone.. but just something to keep in mind on your next Exhaust purchase.

it was all caught up in the muffler, and pulled some strands even further back.. plus it was rather sooty.. just weird i think

You sure that's from the exhaust and not someone fucking with you? Looks like a commercial pot scrubber. SS packing is usually much thinner gage.

Yeah someone probably planted that because the HKS muffler are strong as F**k and I doubt that you're got damaged in the inside.
Haha, thats pretty funny. :D Never seen that, if anything the inside of your exhaust is squeeeky clean. haha.

i thought in some j-land mufflers a form of fiberglass packing was used.
i seriously think someone is fucking with you.

Maybe the last owner needed to pass smog so he stuck shit in there to block exhaust flow =D

no, one time my hks hi-power went dragging on the highway at about 70 mph, it eventually broke into 3 pieces and yes that material is inside of the exhaust. don't sweat it.
