Bill,
I just can't seem to visualise in my mind, what you are saying -

a flat

plate restricting the exhaust flow, seems counter productive?
A small drawing would help!
George (down under)

George I'll do a drawing. The way to think about it is this,
think of the standard round canister with one flat slice on the

primeter. Very little restriction but it forces the flow to be
turbulent. The cool tube concept could still be used.

Ok George, Here's the muffler drawing I promised.
I hope all will now become clear!

Looks as if it would make it much easier to build too. Leave the flat
plate off until the rest of the muffler is finished, then weld the plate
on.
