Bill,
Yes, the "auger muffler" is still hanging in there after 20 hrs of ritualistic torture.  It looks like it has what it takes to "take a licking and keep on ticking".  The only problem is that it isn't as quite as I had hoped.  So, I have decided to try a Hushpower II resonator.  And it WILL be inside the cowl.  I will not hang a muffler (even a pretty SS one) under the belly of my airplane.  If you do that to your Legacy I will have to rip it off and beat you with it.

Thanks, Mark.

Are you going to hang it under the plane or try and install it inside the cowl?  How is your exhaust insert holding up?  Has it blown out yet?  I assume that the largest inlet for the resonator is 2.5… I didn't see anything larger.  I suppose I will have to neck mine down, but that will add to the length, so I may have to hang it under the plane.

 Did anyone happen to get the part number of Dennis' muffler at Tracy's fly in?  I seem to remember that it was a resonator, not a muffler.  I would like to see if I can find one but have not found anything that looks like the one he has.  My exhaust is 3" and his is 2 ½ , so I will either have to find a slightly larger size, or neck my exhaust down to go through it.

Help would be appreciated…my engine is LOUD!

 

Thanks,

Bill B
