OT-Just a bit of a heads up warning

Q: last year i was working on the exhaust for my old scooter and had trouble getting the engine to rev up freely using two aftermarket mufflers for the smaller briggs stratton engines 3-5 hp. at the time i didnt worry too much about it since the duals setup was in development. i even put one muffler on my snapper mower with no troubles. the other one got lost somewhere. the other day i was working on the exhaust again trying to set up a pair of harley style fishtail exhaust tips and in my research i opened up another small muffler to see what was usable inside. and i discovered the advantage of having trade agreements with china. inside the case was a short perforated tube held in the middle by a recess in a baffle plate . . .except there were two plates instead if just one. i checked the alignment of the plates by looking at the grinding marks from the disassembly and the holes were not lined up. the restriction in the muffler was probably 5 times higher than it should have been if not more. now i suspect that is what happened on my exhaust previously one aftermarket muffler was assembled wrong and the back pressure went through the roof because one small muffler couldnt flow enough under those conditions. the warning is if anyone needs to replace a muffler on their lawnmower watch out for those made in china. if the engine runs worse try another muffler. btw im running dual re-cased 1 3/4 large style 5-12 hp mufflers now and the pipes on the fishtail tips are long enough to give me a pair of bologna sliced tips for everyday use. vbg -- budd cochran our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. it is wholly inadequate for the government of any other. john adams *** free account sponsored by secureix.com *** *** encrypt your internet usage with a free vpn account from http//www.secureix.com *** .

lol i dont think you have to worry much as either one by itself is probably enough for your vw. -- budd cochran budd cochran wrote last year i was working on the exhaust for my old scooter and had trouble getting the engine to rev up freely using two aftermarket mufflers for the smaller briggs stratton engines 3-5 hp. at the time i didnt worry too much about it since the duals setup was in development. i even put one muffler on my snapper mower with no troubles. the other one got lost somewhere. the other day i was working on the exhaust again trying to set up a pair of harley style fishtail exhaust tips and in my research i opened up another small muffler to see what was usable inside. and i discovered the advantage of having trade agreements with china. inside the case was a short perforated tube held in the middle by a recess in a baffle plate . . .except there were two plates instead if just one. i checked the alignment of the plates by looking at the grinding marks from the disassembly and the holes were not lined up. the restriction in the muffler was probably 5 times higher than it should have been if not more. now i suspect that is what happened on my exhaust previously one aftermarket muffler was assembled wrong and the back pressure went through the roof because one small muffler couldnt flow enough under those conditions. the warning is if anyone needs to replace a muffler on their lawnmower watch out for those made in china. if the engine runs worse try another muffler. btw im running dual re-cased 1 3/4 large style 5-12 hp mufflers now and the pipes on the fishtail tips are long enough to give me a pair of bologna sliced tips for everyday use. vbg thats good to know -- i am using two tractor mufflers on my 76 vw vanagon rach *** free account sponsored by secureix.com *** *** encrypt your internet usage with a free vpn account from http//www.secureix.com *** .
