I used the loose stuff, and have had no problems or change in sound/tone to much.

Just remember you may need more than you think.

my can now has the solid stuf and its a PITA to get in the can because the can is oval not round (new one is oval as well)

did you use wire wool around the perforated tube ? my can now has it all around the perforated tube then the wadding wrapped over that

I didnt bother with the wire wool as i was expecting to take it pieces again not short after.
But lost minimal on the 1st few miles as it bedded in, and about 3/5k later still sounds pretty much the same as when it went on, but anything to help will be good.
