Couple of questions about new exhaust

I've just fitted a brand new original exhaust to my bike for a low sound level at a trackday. When I first fired it up ithe bike didn't want to run correctly. I believe the 'tune' in the ECU is ok for use with the can. After half a minute running and starting it up later it seemed ok. What could that have been? There were a few little bits of what I assume was packing coming out the pipe. Is there anything I need to pay particular attention to regarding care for the can? It actually sounds lovely for a standard can.

I though the stock ones had a solid baffle not packing? If it's running fine I would be happy. If they're not packed then they're basically maintenance-free.

Re: Couple of questions about new exhaust

If its running ok now then there is nothing to worry about.

There is baffling in the OEM exhaust, even in the main link pipe that you cut when you fit a slip-on.
