I removed my Hushpower the other day to re-do the heat sheilding around it. It's supmerged and does not get enough cooling air around it. I used an aluminum heat sheild and some woven ceramic insulation  with aluminized mylar, I don't know what that particular heat sheilding is called, but, the aluminum burned through and the mylar melted. So, I'm doing a re-design where I have double stainless steel heat shielding with forced air going through the air space. Backing that up will be a layer of fiberfrax.

But, back to the Hushpower. When I pulled it off, I shook it and it sounds like a baby rattle. So, I'm going to use a bore scope and see what's what with it. Hmmm....

Good idea Brian. Harbor Frieght has a cheap bore scope.

I like the outer case design. I would cut it open and gut it
and then weld it backup.
