 I have seen EGT numbers in the low 1800s while at full throttle and running slightly rich without any noticeable change in muffler performance.  So far no one has said my muffler is louder than my first flight. 

I never expected the HP - 2 to work or anything but the Renesis - but I did not expect to see "stuff" melting and dripping out either. 

Mark - are you going to fly it again as is or what is your plan - I may want to fly over to Lockhart and watch!  I am ready for more Barbecue also!

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?

OK, I can see this is going nowhere.  So I guess I'll have to tell you.   This is what came out of my new HP-2 muffler after a short 20 minute flight.  What you saw in the previous picture was the packing material MELTING and dripping out the end of the muffler.  In the second picture, you can see it oozing out of the little holes in the intermediate housing.  I was expecting it to "blow out" eventually, but I wasn't expecting it to melt and run out the tailpipe.  This just blows my mind.  Where to go from here???  Maybe I should replace the packing with titanium shavings, or lithium crystals.
