So,  Anyone know where to get some stainless steel wool or ceramic wool? I'm
starting to think up a design for a tangential muffler which incorporates a
packed muffler. We generally don't have too much room, so it behooves us to
come up with an effective compact design. I have some ideas----

A tangential muffler with a body about 6" in dia, with a cone  section on one
end. Inside the cone would be another with about 1" of space packed with some
sort of wool- SS or ceramic. The inner cone would be drilled with a bunch of
holes. After the holes are drilled, a rod is stuck into the holes and bent
into the direction that the exhaust flows from, inorder to make the hole into
a small scoop. The cone narrows down into about 3 inches in dia. which
connects to your exhaust pipe. Worth a try. I'm going to give it a try.
