Shorty Exhaust

[SEXT9]

Well it's December, I was bored around the house, and I had this muffler from a Ulysses laying around.

Normally I sell off extra parts. But this looked like it had sit in water. I wasn't sure what it would look like inside.

So I dissected it by cutting along the welds. The partitions aren't welded to the skin. So I pulled the metal apart to expose the inside.

I went ahead and cut off around the end cap. The internals slid out from there.

I then cut out the actuator.

I cut the internal pipes off at 1" past the first partition. Then I cut along the welds to separate the end cap from the internals. These parts will make up the end of the exhaust.

Note: I also cut off the pipes to 1" on the front side of the partition.

I then cleaned up the end cap so the original flange shows.

Interesting the end cap and partition fit together pretty nicely. GOOD!

I cut off the rest of the body at 6" from the front weld.

I buttoned up the seams.

And I closed up the hole in the top.

I stopped there for the day.

What I planned next is to cover the hole where the tip was. Then I'll take the plasma cutter and cut out the flat part of the end cap.
