Hi Paul,

Ed Klepeis built a muffler for Jerry Hey, one you have on your web  site.
Have you, by any chance been in contact with Jerry lately and would  you have
informations or test results about this muffler design?

Thanks,

JP

I have it in my shop. It has been crudely modified by someone else  so it needs repair.
The problem is hot gases come out the front on idle. As long as you  use
a metal hose to feed ram air in the front it will be OK.

I have added a few pictures I had laying around on it.
Ed has the most money in it so he should decide what is to be done
with it.

The photos show two different mufflers.  The one Ed made for me (with
red back ground)  I still  have. I had to change the location of the
outlet so that the exhaust gas did not have a straight thru path to
the exhaust pipe.    It has never been tested but since I made
several others that were similar I can say that it is loud but
tolerable and seems to allow the engine to breath freely which was
the goal.  No one so far has hooked up the cool tube to inlet cool
outside air. Too bad.   I would have liked to see that theory
tested.   I will post pic of mine tomorrow.  It is for sale.   Jerry
