[Mgs] muffler recommendations

[Barrie Robinson]

Stainless is harder than mild steel thus does not vibrate as 
well.  This is why a soft copper tail pipe from silencer (muffler) 
gives a nice note.  My hunting horn is copper and its tone would be 
horrible if it was stainless steel (although I would not have to 
polish it so often !!!!  How many stainless steel wind instruments 
have you seen?  You would be even happier with a mild steel exhaust
