One thing you will want to place close attention to – while the 0.02 stainless will doubtless handle the heat – those large flat panels are going to be severely test by the rotary’s powerful exhaust pulse.

I can’t tell for sure , but there does not appear to be any interconnection between the opposing sides of those wide expanses of sheet metal or is this just the SS covering and will not see anything other than heat?


DOH!! I left out a few very important pictures. The latter is correct. The .020 is just a duct/shield to contain the heat. I'd taken quite a few pictures of the muffler sitting inside the shield, but for the life of me I can't find them now. I think they might be on my work computer, which is, conveniently at work.
