Right now I'm planning to fabricate a "Plain-Jane" tangential muffler. Does
this look like the correct Bill-Of-Materials ?

ALL Inconel 625 AMS 5599F
1.  1 - .040 thick x 6" dia. X 10" long tube/pipe -OR- 19" x 10" sheet (to
roll and weld              into a 6" dia. tube).

2.  2 - .040 thick x 6" x 12" (to cut two 6" round end caps)

3.  2 - 1.75" ID  sched 40 x 6" long pipe (exhaust manifold - welded to
existing plate)

4.  1 - 3" ID .040 wall x 16" long pipe (I'm a pusher - so I'm not going
far)

I got a quote on sheet Inconel at about $22/pound - does that sound like
it's in the ballpark?

Thanx,

Yes to everything but you might have a problem going from thick wall sched 40 pipe
to thin .040 inconel sheet.
