well i grabbed some 4" round SS pipe, i think if i can find some packing i could use some old grape screens from work to hold the packing in place.

i was thinking of making the mufflers 4" x 10" and completely food grade SS , high polish like the 304 stainless.


where can i locate some packing? mesh would be cool too.

 

look on ebay for mesh, but i believe your making a glass pack

 

Sounds like a sweet project.

 

sounds cool

 

Why not just buy a race bullet for $40

 

what fun is that?

 

because i want it short, 4" round, and stainless. i cant find anything stainless shorter than 14" :P

my problem is i dont know what length i really want, i have the OBX resonators, so if i make em 6-10" that will be loud lol

 

Yea true that. stainless would be nice as well. go ahead and make us some while your at it

 

lol maybe, gotta find something to use for mesh and hold packing in... if i use grape screen filters from work i have to find a way to roll it.

 

got my fingers on some old grape screen. i'll take a pic of it

 

ok tomorrow i'll try to take a pic of the grape screen lol.

question is now regarding the packing itselfs. i can get 1/4" thick fiberglass matt on ebay, if i wrap it twice i should easily slide into the 4" pipe. but im not sure what 1/2" of wrap is going to sound like?

 

heres the materials to make the mufflers


close up of grape screen.

 

ok i give up on glass packing, im going to settle for wool. my only question is how perishable is the regular steel wool i have that i bought from walmart for polishing glass?

 

What were you going to pack in it originally?

 

i was going to look for a fiberglass packing, it dampens the volume a bit more than other fillers. now im just considering steel wool since i have some on hand, but will purchase a reel of stainless steel wool if the regular steel wool will disappear on me.
