Paul your methodology & order of operations for fabricating the muffler are tried & true. As a 62 year old fab man myself I really appreciate sticking to standards and what works. I always fold and crimp the mesh edges before brazing to ensure the braze doesn't vibrate apart.

I never miss your content, and always enjoy it when I really got a chill time with some snack, so as not to miss every detail of the work you do...

Back in the sixties I was given a Triumph Tiger Cub without an engine. I had an Excelsior 250 two stroke twin lying around and a friend made some engine plates to fit it in the Cub frame. We then made a set of siamese pipes and used the Cub silencer. It was the best little bike I had. It was faster than the Cub and sounded fantastic without being loud. The original silencer was an absorption type and gave a two stroke a great sound. Even after a couple of years it still worked well.

This video would have inspired me to make a muffler for my sawmill if I didn't already have 101 unfinished projects. It's on the list. My Piper Super Cub uses slip couplings on the exhaust. I use a product called Acousti Seal 35959 to seal and lube the couplings. It seals the joints from leaks but stays soft and keeps the joints from "welding" from carbon and corrosion so they come apart easily when needed. It's nasty to work with, sticky and tar-like, gets on your fingers and nose, but cleans up with mineral spirits.

Like what you did . However , when I was redoing my muffler on my Ducati 999S to run Bonneville in stock class , I halved the stock muffler. Took the guts out. Did the perforated tube thing (2) with a perforated H-pipe in between them. I used stainless steel - steel wool instead of fiberglass since fiberglass wouldn’t work in the area I had to work with. Welded the stain steel muffler back up. Also die ground the interior of the outlets to paper thin since they would measure the outside of the muffler, not the inside . A straight threw muffler that was only slightly louder than stock.

The regulator keeps the outlet pressure constant, and when you want to weld without purge - just close the valve under the flow meter. Made up and purged the exhaust system and fuel tank as well as some titanium bits for my weird ‘2-year’ sports car that I’m 9 years late finishing 🤣😂 Whilst looking for a 650 Norton for my dad to ride in retirement, obviously….

It's just easier and faster, and doesn't come apart. Thanks for watching

A wee tip , I take an old phillips screwdriver that fits snuggly in the holes and tilt each hole so it "scoops up" a bit of the flow , I sort of convinced myself this reduces the noise level.....might b just religion though......

That could be a good idea! I think I'll run the bike like it is and then I will know the sound level. Then I can make changes, because it's easy to take the muffler apart. Thanks Kim :)

I have to ask what your rationale was for using TIG to join the components but you used brazing (bronze) to close up the perforated metal sleeve. Bronze has lost a great amount of it's strength with heat over 500F and exhaust systems can run 700F to 1200F with ease. If you have the ability to TIG why did you choose to use bronze instead?

It was just easier to nickel silver the perforated metal. The exhaust will never get hot enough for the nickel silver to melt.

I thought you were making a thermos flask for your coffee 😆☕☕
