car muffler on briggs 5hp

[Russ2251]

So you think a muffler desihned large enough to produce back pressure in a 4 or 6 cylinder engine will add back pressure to a tiny briggs 5?

Without question. Just holding your hand in front of exhaust port creates back pressure.
By the way...methanol eats aluminum.

here you go Mr. Russ

and im sorry but the most expensive one is $36.99

Picture I posted was from same site.
Here
Stainless steel is reason for expense. Standard steel stuff does not last very long...at least not on my cars (way back when).
Anyway, to use an automotive muffler is overkill in the extreme and doesn't add anything except weight. Will also need heavier support(s).
The megaphone exhaust tip I use is only $9 + shipping and is adequate. I just ordered 2 more...just to keep things symmetrical.

but woyld the thrush muffler quiet my briggs down at all?

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

I have never seen gas eat AL, turn to varnish yes, dissolve metal no.

 

[jr dragster T]

And have you ever seen alky do it?

 

[Russ2251]

but woyld the thrush muffler quiet my briggs down at all?

Possibly. I more inclined to think that this muffler would just change the tone of exhaust noise.

 

[jr dragster T]

If packed with steel wool I would think it would quiet it down a fair ammount.

 

[sayre315]

i think its fiberglass Mr. Tyler

 

[Russ2251]

Steel wool won't last very long. Oxidizes rather quickly in exhaust stream.

 

[jr dragster T]

Well I know that's what alot of dirtbikers use in the silencer.

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

The proper stuff is fiberglass.

 

[sayre315]

yea, and you can get fiberglass out of your own adick (haha i completely spelt that wrong)

 

[Russ2251]

you can get fiberglass out of your own adick

Not quite the same.

 

[jr dragster T]

[kibble]

It's spelled attick.

Now, look down your shirt and spell attic.

 

[sayre315]

[kibble]

Oh lordy, what have I done?

How about we make the E stand for "exhaust"? and the F for "fiberglass" and go back to the original topic?

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Fiberglass insulation is thinner strands than muffler pack, glass cloth for fixing boats might be about right.
