Thank you very much for your muffler report David!

I did have a tangental muffler on my bird for five years, and it was nice and
quiet.  But it was welded by a welding shop, and the welds were cracking,
so I went to straight pipes.  I like the lower cowl temps, but it really is too
loud.  Now, we must wear headsets.

I have a "Welders Blanket" cloth which is supposed to handle over 2300 degF.
I am hoping that I could use that for "glass packing".

The "almost empty can" demonstrated at Tracy Crooks Rotary Roundup sounded
good enough for my needs.
