Yes more or less like the coax muffler. Instead of drilling a few holes here and there, I bought a perforated sheet and welded it into a tube. I wanted to have it open on both ends, to create a vacuum and help suck the air out of the cowl. But right now to make flights enjoyable, I might close up the ends and see how that works.
Is anyone running a coax muffler ? Because it's extremely loud in my case.
I did buy the Aero Exhaust AT2525XL and it worked great while doing all my ground testing, but the 6" outer shell was just to big to fit under the plane. Sadly I brought it back home to Canada and haven't flown with it yet here in FL. I'll pack it in my suitcase next trip down.
The racing beat presilencer is suppose to be good. I believe it has stainless steel wool inside and maybe ceramic mat over that. For fun I stuffed ceramic mat into the 4" pipe and it did quite things down. Except with the 4" tube being open at both ends, it sucked it out. Right now I'm trying to source some high temp ss fiber mat to first wrap the pipe, then wrap the ceramic over that, then close up both ends.
1.5minutes into the take off the EGT probe right before the 4" pipe is 1700F. (EGT1 = 1768F, EGT2= 1819F)

Matt: So the setup for your exhaust, is more or less the one that Paul
Lamar suggest in his forum, 2 years or so ago.?
The coax muffler ?

(ex2.jpg) The 4" outer pipe (5ft long) is open to the free air and exits behind the rear bulkhead. The 2.5" converts to a 3ft long perforated pipe (ex3.jpg) and exits inside the 4" outer pipe. For fun, I filled it full of ceramic fiber insulation mat, which did help a little until it blew all out.
