I really shouldn't be playing with my car in the back yard as it's so small.. but sometimes in the middle of the day, I need to smell some bringing two stroke oil.


So I made myself a 'muffle' to dampen the noise, and it works quite well.


I clamped a rubber hose which I perforated with tons of .5cm holes. I put some insulation/packing in the bear cans, sealed it up and away I go.


Take a look.


Yup, those are beer cans..well, .5 anyways.

I thought it was pretty trashy.. but I love it. It's on with a pipe clamp, so I can take it out when I go out in the field. That way I can do 10-20 laps when I want to in the yard.. or chase away bratty kids or squirrels.


It is very quiet actually. I was surprised at how much noise went disappeared. you know that high pitched poped two strokes make.. that's all gone.

If anybody ever stands in the driveways giving me the evil eye while I drive my car (which is rare and only for a few minutes at a time) I go grab my shotty and stand in the garage while cleaning it. Not many guns are scarier than a Remington 870 tactical 12 gauge with a pistol gripped M4A1 style telescoping stock :D . They get the drift real quick. People on my street don't even look at me anymore. You should try it. Keeps the dam solicitors at bay too.
