Paul,
Is this a good size for fabricating a tangential muffler?  Is 5" diameter tubing be large enough and .035 thick enough to handle the heat and flow from a three-rotor?
M. Steitle

Yes I would say it would be. Tracy has run .035 thick SS for five years and 900
hours.
The muffler spit out its guts of course but so did my C182 muffler.
I would just leave the guts out in the first place.
