Mark,

Did the stuff get on the bottom of your plane?  Has this = affected the sound of your exhaust?  Did Dennis’ muffler do = this?

I noticed his muffler had a white coating on the outside like it = had been hot.  Has yours turned color?

I wonder how hot the muffler gets at high power settings?  = Didn’t you say something about a hand held temp = gage?
