Ok so I was working on my Ugly muffler and finally gave up trying to save it. I know I can buy a used one. But this might be more fun to make one. Sooo I cut mine in half....check it out.

Thanks for the video, nothing explains it better than that. Nice engineering job on the pedal set up, that's awesome! I'll bet you got thirsty planning that out!

Well I cut all the parts for the muffler, they are all 304 stainless. I laser cut almost all of it even the tubes. The smalles 1"dia. tube I had to drill holes by hand because the laser was just blowing through both sides. I made a drill template out of paper from Solidworks then wrapped it around the tube. Worked great. I'll be welding it up tomorrow. So stay tuned. Here are some pictures.

All done except for some mounting brackets for the heat shield. 4 hours of fitting and welding later. I guess I should finish sanding the primer on the sheet metal and get some red paint out. Stickers are on the way. Then I'll have to find a 48" deck.

amazing, are you a welder/fabricater by trade?

I am a Mechanical engineer that grew up in my fathers machine shop since I remember. So I learned how to make most things before I ever designed them. My fathers business was design and building special machinery, like drilling and assembly machines. The cool part was the shop was on my parents property about 7 acres. So going to work or going to make a play part was just a 150' walk. So anything I have to machine I still go back home and make it.

B) All that great work you have done! And the motion pedals are still unpainted?

The decals come from Terry? [Vinylguy] :hbd:

Ever get nervous when painting and there is fire in the stove? :clap:

Very very nicely done!! :party:
