Re: Anyone make their own muffler before? (jolt-tsp)
I've got all the parts to my aluminum one finished but not yet assembled. I'd love to pack it with something if anyone has any sources for a quality packing. Dims are 5" OD, 3" perf core ID, 12" long muffled section.

Unless it's something you can't buy, I wouldn't bother building one.
I built one, but it was an offset 3.5" in/dual 2.5" out to look like a stock exhaust. For internal tubing, http://www.perftubes.com/DesktopDefault.aspx
Go to a motorcycle shop and get some exhaust pipe silencer material. I used a 4-layer FMF kit that had SS mesh, SS wool, woven fiberglass, and loose fiberglass packing material. The muffler cost me about $100 in materials and was a major pain in the ***. If you can buy a muffler that meets your needs, do it.
I'll be building a 4" aluminum muffler in the future though...not sure how good of an idea it is though.

Yes, thats exactly what I was wanting to build, except in a 2.5" aluminium core. Let me know how it goes!

Because straight through will have better flow?
