I just made an imitation "muffpot" by taking a small metal box I was going to recycle. I made two holes in the bottom for a stainless steel screw clamp and then clamped it to a hose beside the exhaust manifold. Much better looking than my previous version, but probably not as effective, since it does not make direct contact with the exhaust manifold. Still, I can move it if I think of a better location.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
