This first thing that I did was to buy a spare muffler. I ordered a PA50I muffler, but received a PA50II muffler. It turned out however, that the outside diameter of the PA50II muffler was the same as the new muffler – and also that the outside diameter was almost exactly the inside diamater of a standard 3/4” copper pipe union (used for home water supply (plumbing part)). The union was a bright copper color, but the heat has darkened it some so that it is not that noticeable.

I haven’t yet “soldered” the pipes to the union, and so far, I don’t need to. The fit is pretty tight, and the exhaust is pretty unrestricted, so I may not have to do the solder.

It’s cool how an hour in the hardware store paid off!
