Gunner (was Diesel generator, 2 questions)
"Ignoramus2203" wrote in message ... Hi Gunner, just in case if you have not seen my previous post, I added more pictures of plans of the exhaust opening. Also, I made a fairly accurate paper cutout of the opening, which I would be happy to mail to you if you want to. See pictrues at http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/muffler/ Thanks! i It's a good think you posted this to four newsgroups. |

See pictrues at http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/muffler/ I would probly mount the muffler separate from the motor and solidly to the unit frame, and weld or machine up a fitting to bolt on the engine, then connect the two with some kinda flex piping. -- SVL |

See pictrues at http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/muffler/ Thanks! i This is Turtle There is one thing here that might become a problem if you get to big of pipe and muffler on it. Like a Chevy 350 engine with large pipes on it. The big pipe will cause a bellowing sound or vibration with the large pipe on it. With normal pipe on it you will not see or hear this bellowing sound. Now try what you havebut if it bellows , you may have to do this. cut the muffler off and go to a 3/4" pipe and just shoot the vapors straight out 20 feet in the air with no muffler or restrictions on the line. This away there is no sound till it gets at the end of the 20 foot pipe in the air. Wait and just see. TURTLE |

Thanks, that's exactly what the plan is for now, thanks to Gunner and Dale's suggestions. i Yup..mail me the template Gunner 326 Olive Ave Taft, Ca. 93268 With that and the drawing you did, I can turn one out for you easily. I still need to know the size and type of flex you are going to use though.

I still need to know the size and type of flex you are going to use though. I would seriously use the same size diameter pipe as the exhaust port. Make an adaptor to fit both ends of the muffler .I'm guessing one inch ID pipe, use one inch pipe going into the muffler and one inch coming back out (tail pipe), this will prevent baffleing. If is still to loud, use two mufflers, one being the resonator, the other being the muffler. This is how the exhausts work on luxery cars. The muffler in iggy's pic will not be all that quiet unless he runs the pipe 115 feet up in the air or so, however it will make a damned fine resonator. Iggy should use a double bellow type muffler (on most stock cars, the one in iggy's pic is a glass pack, or el-cheapo). n. |
