A Right Proper British Gentleman Never Raises His Voice

Pop quiz:

It's 1pm on a fine springtime Saturday afternoon and your beloved wife reminds you that not only is the always-excellent Frederick Celtic Festival today, but that Frederick Maryland's very own Clustered Spires British Car Club is hosting a car show at the festival!

But... your loud and obnoxious race exhaust (note purposeful omission of the word 'muffler') would no doubt scare the populous away. What to do?


Introducing Gormless Racing's Emergency Shut The Hell Up Exhaust Hack, in 7 easy steps:

1) Drill a few holes near the end of the exhaust:

 2) Scrounge some hardware cloth or any metal screening:


 3) Professionally fabricate a 'catch basket' to hold the material
 4)  Acquire some all copper rust proof scrubbies, the more the merrier; stainless steel will do in a pinch but they will rust eventually and take your exhaust pipe with them:
 5) Stuff It (TM):
:
 6) Stuff in the catch basket:
 7) Use safety wire / stainless steel wire / long cotter pins to capture the catch basket to the exhaust pipe:


Ah... much better!

We made it to the show, and there was much rejoicing.
