NOBLNG Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) I recently made these mufflers and thought I would share the process. First I glued two pieces of .156” tube together and filled the crotch with some half-round and CA. Then I sanded the ends square and capped them with some thin styrene sheet. Sand the end caps flush and drill the holes for the .100” exhaust pipes....simple!🙂 The tubing allows the exhaust pipes to “float” in and out a bit until everything is in place so it can be glued solid. The exhaust pipe can be solid styrene, solder, or in this case I used .100” tube with some soft wire shoved inside.

shucky Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Made something similar on a GTI build a bunch of years ago. Made a "carbon" look can using styrene tubing with single inlet and dual outlet. Front pipe and rear pipes were polished solder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Well, aren't you the bee's knees? Seriously, many objects we need for our replicas can be scratch built if we can just take some time and break the object down into its basic shapes.
