Default building your own mufflers.

Anyone here attempted this.

Anyone got any dimensions IE spacing between baffels.

Chamber designs for deep sound and canceling out any highs, I think this would require wave length knowledge.

Where to buy stainless steelwool.

might as well build the mufflers since I've built everything else.

I'm working on some, but it's more like a trial buildup to go on my dad's truck. If they do good, I'll make a set for the T/A. They're 12" long X 4 1/2" diameter, in 3" from each end is a ring with 12 9/16" holes punched in them. The rings are on the ends of a 6" long 2 1/2" pipe that is hopefully going to be perforated. No packing at all.

I made my own Flowmaster for my Jeep, and it has a V8 sound to it(it's an inline 6) going down the highway.

Now I'd like to know where to get perforated tubing and to have things aluminized... ya got any ideas???

I would look up chroming shops to coat them, we have a couple around where I live.

So for the flowmasters did you copy the dimensions of flowmaster and just fab one up
