I don't know if this would work with your application, but I've seen
generators with metal 3/4" or 1" waterpipe (this assumes the exaust

mufflers screwed into it. Quieted them down quite a bit.

Good suggestion. But at $35 each (probably more today), I don't want to
just experiment. I didn't realize that the block has NPT in it making
it possible to use ordinary pipes from the hardware store. So maybe
someone on this group knows how to make a real muffler. Or maybe there
is a book around on design. This could be a fun project.
