I have a lot of ideas....some from Beast775 who did a great job quieting his Mitsubishi down. The method involved adding a second muffler to the system. I'm not yet sure how I will connect to the existing muffler stub, but if I'm not mistaken a 3/8" copper elbow is a pretty good fit. I'm thinking about brazing this on....but not sure yet. From that, I will somehow attach a somewhat flexible hose (to limit the vibration transferred back to the muffler mounting point) that runs to a secondary muffler of same nature - to be determined, but I'll use a pre-made one from the RC world since they are already designed and available. I spoke with a real nice guy at a company called hosexpress who couldn't have been more helpful. I told him up front that I didn't want to waste his time for something so small potatos and he said, "No problem, just let me know how I can help you out". I explained that I may only want to buy a FOOT of whatever hose he reccommended, and he said, "That's fine, we can mail it right out to you" and even went on to suggest that I have some female threads on each end of the hose so that I could easily replace it it the need ever arose. Great guy, a pleasure to talk to, and he will for SURE be getting my business. He reccommended using the stainless hose as it is good up to its melting point, which is WAY hotter than it will EVER get on the end of my muffler. Now I just have to design the system! Haha.. But if anyone is looking for some GREAT tech support from a company that has already been very helpful to me, here's a link to the product that he reccommended:
