Okay! Not sure where to post this one, so will stay with similar drive type, though this may apply to other applications and engine types.
It is 0 degrees F where I live, bike is hanging, motor is tucked in corner. Fishing is kaput. I would be hunting but too cold and not in mood. Besides, no respectable grouse or pheasant would be out in this weather, so, before I get into the darkroom, here is the plan.
Construct a "muffler" or small expansion chamber for next season. All suggestions/critiques are welcome, particularly from those who have tried a similar project.
Motor is 2-cycle T-3300 on GEBE rack system.
Use a 3/8" copper elbow from exhaust pipe - it fits and is easily clamped tight after cutting slits in one end to secure;
Attach high-temp silicone tube to the elbow;
Connect that tubing to 6" piece of 2.5" PVC - the "chamber;"
The "chamber" or muffler will be empty (as opposed to a holed out pipe or silicone and/or surrounded with SS wool inside)
Exit end is .5 inch.
Paint black.
Fasten chamber downward to GEBE rack mount, redirect exhaust away from bike.
Will this rig reduce exhaust noise and not harm engine or reduce efficiency?
