I have cored a few CVO mufflers now and I have seen two kind of baffles. One is the wrapped perforated baffle with a 1/4'' blanket wrapped around it. The other baffle has two tubes flattened out, over lapping, and welded together....this baffle has the screen with a thin layer of fiberglass wrapped around the screen.

Hi there
I'm in the land down under and have just removed my left baffle and mine has the two tubes flattened out, overlapping and welded together and has the screen with a thin layer of fibreglass wrapped around the screen and then 1/4" "softer" packing wrapped around it and stapled at either end of the screen.
What I'm trying to establish is: should I re-use the screen and packing as it was removed with my new 2.00" cores
OR seeing I've also purchased perforated screens from Fullsac; use the new screens with just a 1/4" or 1/2" (hence my original question) wrap of new packing? Not sure what impact on sound and performance, if any, either will have as this is my first re-core..
Cheers
