Making mufflers


Recommended Posts

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.

Wow, a great idea. I’m stealing this - hope you don’t mind, of course I’ll give full credit.

Not at all, that’s why I posted it in this section. Now if you took it from my build thread....😜

No I wouldn’t do that. It’s just for my own projects.

Thanks for sharing this.
