 Easy Paul,  I have no idea how to wrap that exhaust pipe around the
 muffler. I will stick with the simple tangential.   Does anybody have
 a throw away case  I could use as a fixture?
 Jerry

Its easy Jerry. You get four 180 degree bends from Burns Stainless
and weld them in the center to make two 360 degree cut and twisted
donuts.

Brian's version is made from flat stock where you cut out a split donut
side and weld it to the inner can along the bottom of the runner and cover
the outside with flat sheet. Probably a wee bit lighter than the
round tube donut version.

What's the "easy" part?   Jerry

ROFL. I forgot. You don't have a tig :-)
