| | Nah. | Explanation:
They mean there's nothing packed inside the muffler baffles that can blow out:
Expulse(accent) par la pression de l'echappement, comme des fibres de verre, ou de la laine d'acier.

Low noise mufflers with no internal baffel packing are requirements for all off road vehicles which come into contact with brush and trees. If hot steel wool or melted fiberglass gets blown out, it can start a fire. Hence the regulations and the complicated muffler design. |
