no blower silencer vs. universal silencer

[tubad sosad]

being a direct drive it would also help to put another muffler on the engine exhaust, call it the vawter twins (from the movie timecop).

 

[Mikey P]

Just be thankful you never got that pos wm from Greenie...ooohfa...what a nightmare

 

[GeneMiller]

The correct silencer will work better as it is tuned to the blower frequencies.

[Mike Draper]

how do you tune a muffler to blower frequencies?

 

[Mikey P]

Duct tape and a ballpeen hammer

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Prefer the noise without the silencer, slightly.

What next....GAY marriage?

Tuning won't last long . . . .
Internal Rust will quickly cause blower back-pressure . . .
We like Stainless silencers.

They are designed to muffle the frequencies that a blower puts out. They aren't really just generic. There is quite a bit of science involved.

OR you could ceramic dip the components.....

 

[GeneMiller]

Ceramic dip is the definitely the best. Not only does it stop rust but contains the heat for proper removal.

notice how i set up the intake on the side of the Flowmaster and welded up the intake hole on the end.......that cuts the sine wave peaks right off as it's no longer a straight thru flow.....

see inside and out...


have i mentioned that i'm buildin' another one ...the worlds BEST direct drive carpet cleaner, that is?

 

[AshleyMckendree]

Ive heard one of your dual muffler Genies Bawb, they're loud as FAK!!!

 

[bob vawter]

Huh.. whad you say..i can't hear you....!

Ashley...loudness is in the ear of the beholder.......lol....

who's did you hear AND was it still the way I made it.....
i did send a few out on pallets to be installed by the customer....

since they're sorta close ..my WAG would be Chris Lee's???

car mufflers instead of blower silencers always seemed a bit "backyardish" to me

I don't recall my SG Hydro Genie having a muffler .
if i recall, it was a big heavy blower silencer

It's the small backyard builders that use mufflers ...cause they're cheaper i reckon

..L.T.A.

You calling @bob vawter cheap?!? Doesn't he ceramic coat stuff?

Nah, Bob's not cheap
he's like me..just plain BROKE ....

[bob vawter]

me an' the old womens got a joke.....when in a restaurant we order water wit lemon and then put sugar in it....
we're the cheapskates......we laugh and laugh!

 

[dgardner]

Never thought of that!

 

[dgardner]

My understanding of silencers is that acoustic packing around the inlet knocks down the high-frequency component, and an expansion chamber (or series of them) takes care of the lows. The volume of the chamber(s) is dependant on the wavelength of the sound - so the lows require bigger chambers to be effective. This is why silencers tend to be so big.

It is possible to make a silencer smaller while attaining the same amount of sound reduction, but at a cost of increased pressure drop. It's always a tradeoff, nothing comes for free......
