I assume he means that his muffler now resembles the silencers one puts on guns and that he did something like the attached image file.
(How do I get that uploaded image to appear here??)
This may be BS (why lie..?) or just blind luck specific to his engine, or... just maybe one of those chance "WOW!!" discoveries dotted throughout man's history..???
(IS this the right place to ask something like this?)
