Hello Steamers!
Today I opened the muffler of the exhaust because it is rusty and I have to make a new one.
So I found the opportunity to create a plan for those who want to follow the factory version.
Excellent. I look forward to seeing how it turns out.
It would be interesting to see how a TOR silencer's innards compares?
When I recently removed my silencers to pull my engine, I was amazed at how heavy they were! Maybe mine used cast iron sewer pipe inside? :icon_wink:
Well done Sir :notworthy
Can I ask how you opened it. I've had one on the bench for a while with the intention of using a hole saw to cut the end cap, seeing this now makes me wonder if that surgery would be of any benefit.
It's easy to open!
Cut the back flange with a dremel or screwdrive, after look at the side of muffler the 4 weld points (there is welded the diaphragm) drilled!
At last cut from the inlet side the welding line. (At the big tube)

The inlet tube
Amazing to think that was all pristine, shiny, new metal once...
Excellent, well done :notworthy Thanks for the detailed photos.
I was thinking about using a hole saw to cut out the end plate so that I could weld it back after repairs. I'll add to toys thread when I get around to doing it.
