with all the great exhaust / muffler shops out there it would be great if there was a branch of that that handled smaller systems, but the sales and interest is just not there. if you are lucky enough to have the stuff you can build what you want. I have been asking , borla, flowmaster, and others but , they want volume. seen really neat stuff at shows, as you have. on the hunt, Pete

good find , https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=u-B7XJebPILq_Aaupqu4Cw&q=small+engine+mufflers&btnK=Google+Search&oq=small+engine+mufflers&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l3j0i22i30l7.7192.13430..13845...0.0..0.204.2243.10j9j2......0....1..gws-wiz.....0..0i131j0i10.ohUzfRmPzDw   only issue would be a mounting clamp , but the size is in the zone of a possible fit , pete

What would the advantage of a titanium muffler be?

 

Seems like there could be a lot of potential for the titanium to allow the mating metal to corrode abnormally fast.  Maybe not, but my experience with titanium is that it lasts forever at the expense of everything around it. 

 

Spendy too.

Good point Steve,  here's a compatibility chart of metals that get along nicely.

 

Table 1: Galvanic Series of Metals & Alloys

*Materials in the same group are compatible, used with other materials may cause corrosion.

+ Corroded End (anodic, or least noble)

Magnesium Magnesium alloys Zinc

Aluminum 1100 Cadmium Aluminum 2024-T4 Steel or Iron Cast Iron Chromium-Iron (active) Ni-Resist cast iron

Lead tin solders Lead Tin

Nickel (active) Inconel nickel-chromium alloy (active) Hastelloy Alloy C (active)

With a properly clamped v-band joint - the titanium won't interfere with most carbon steels or stainless. The biggest advantage of using titanium as a material is weight - but that comes at quite a cost for this alloy. Also, unless it is properly welded the joints in the muffler will corrode and fall apart fairly quickly - the whole thing must be free of contamination and fully purged prior to welding.
