The new muffler constructionI Went to Harvey
Briggs Welding Radiator shop located in
Charlestown/ Ranson, West Virginia and bought
some pieces of metal and I cut out the pieces
with the plasma cutter

I first cut a square piece of metal and welded it
into the center of the 5 inch pipe

I next took a slug (END PIECE) and fitted it
inside
10
I next tacked the coupling to the end plate and
left a good inch inside between the end of the
coupling and the baffle plate
11
I screwed in the piece pf pipe to keep welding
slag off the inside threads of the coupling
12
I next welded the inlet end in real good
13
Here I have welded the outlet pipe to the end
plate and chucked it into the lathe so as to hit
it with a hammer and get it somewhat inline
(TRUED it UP)

I have it trued up and welded but good now to
spin her around and make a final good looking
heavy duty muffler

boy can do with a little time on his hands
