Any ideas for a TD 020 muffler?

I sure hope Greg does go into production - That would be perfect!!

I would be interested in these if they become available

Am I remembering correctly that Greg also prototyped a TD 020 throttle? If so, I’d also like some of those…

Those are really good numbers Brad. What was the difference without?

Shoot while were are at it , how bought a tuned pipe LOL I need to fire something up other than the CC or a mower / splitter

I’ll have to see how these hold up. I never had a chance to test them yet.

So you lost almost 3K with the muffler? Not bad.

No lost 1,876 rpm off peak.

The best results with the muffler was with Mattes Nelson flat coil head adapter.
The other results shown with a cox plug. Kamtechnik turbo head also out performed
the stock plug tested open exhaust.

Thanks to the pressure tap the tank was bone dry when the engine
stopped providing steady rpm throughout the run.

Perhaps he will see this post and chime in. I have tested 4 prototypes.
Very cool and does a great job of reducing noise and oil goo spray.



 

This would be by far the best option. I have some of his heads and backplates - excellent work!! Do you have any contact with Greg? Any idea when he is planning to produce the mufflers?

It would be interesting to see. I’d offer to help test one, but no time.

I would love to see Greg make 049 Mufflers like the one in the picture above that 1/2Anut posted! I have used on an 049 TD the standard cox muffler with timing shims that Matt sent me, and I understand both Matt and Bernie will both have for sale soon. They worked very well at removing the SPI and the TD ran very well indeed and was much quieter. Though I think half the noise from a TD is induction noise! I didnt find all the problems sometimes suggested with the Timing Shims and Muffler, I had to experiment with things and I have a very good setup that I am very happy with and it means I can fly in noise restricted locations I otherwise could not fly in.

Sorry this may not be a lot of direct help to you as it is 049 experience, but I certainly found the right combination of shims, muffler, head, venturi setup, all worked very well together without the drastic power loss I had expected!

Good luck with yours.
