Show off your muffler mods

[huskihl]

I just went through a phase of pipe enthusiasm. I like the way they look and sound. Unfortunately, I was running my 385 about 6 weeks ago and caught a tree on fire at the pipe outlet. Not sure how to move the pipe back farther.

I keep most of mine blowing out on about a 45 so they don’t get too hot. Trying, at least…

Just curious when you do the pipes do you have any of the pipe.inside the muffler to maybe help with back pressure or do you cut them off flush to the outside of muffler.
Hope you can understand what I meen lol.

I don’t intentionally stick any amount into the muffler. I eyeball it up, cut it off and push it in maybe 1/8”. But if I thought it was sticking out too far, I’d push it in another 1/4” and braze it there. I don’t see where it’s going to make much difference

Take a picture of it, I’m sure we can figure out something better for ya

Onlt difference here is I make them flush, agree 100%, they’re going to be loud anyway, sticking in a bit isn’t any quieter.

Maybe local metal shop?

Mine come from work. They are crush limiters so bolts dont collapse the part during assembly. When i cut the parts to check welds i just pop them out when i need them. And yes i have permission haha.

1” electrical conduit run through the lathe to remove the galvanizing.

Why remove the galvanizing?

Why remove the galvanizing?

When welding the fumes from the galvanize are toxic. No bueno to breath.

Ahhh ok. I knew that. But I didn't know if it was something else.

Also, galvanized metal welds like crap

Muriatic acid will strip the galvanized plating off.
