Work finished, Refrigerator & Muffler Fix & Replace

[Kurt Horvath]

I was pretty sure most views would be against the insulation wrap. It
doesn't seem to have a good reputation in respect to corrosion
issues. Pete is correct it did corrode from the inside out.

I thought about ceramic coating before insulating with wrap,the cost
is not in the budget. The people I spoke with asked if I could get to
the inner parts and that it would be a better application if they
could coat the interior as well as the exterior of the muffler.
Doesn't look like that will happen.

Several people have recommended a straight stack. What are the
positive & negative aspects of a straight stack? It would be the
best as far as getting the most clearance in the tunnel and would
greatly increase the area for convection to occur. I would think that
with a small modification to the mounts it would be easier to install
than the huge muffle that's in there now. The fact that the muffler
is just a tube at this point noise is not very much an issue.
