Nothing inside George. Anything you put inside is likely to burn up
as it does not get any cooling at all.

Paul.......I think George is confusing the TUNED tang.
muffler with the UN-TUNED. Please clarify the
differences for there might be other subscribers
scratching their heads like I was in the beginning :-)

                                     Butch Diaz Sr.

A tuned muffler has two pipes 32 inches long for 6000 RPM.
These pipes are wrapped around in a circle on the outside of a 5 to 6 inch
diameter can which is the actual muffler part.

An untuned muffler has two straight pipes. These two pipes are only about
5 inches long and they enter the can on a tangent.

Paul and Butch,
Thank you for that additional clarification.
That now brings me in line with what I've been shown at the aircraft
welders.
Previously I wasn't convinced, now I am !!
