[Mgs] Exhaust Sound

[Barrie Robinson]

Hello Paul,

I was once told that putting a copper tail piece after the 
silencer/baffle would give a melodious sound (sort of brass band??)  But 
never tried it

I understand that mild steel, not stainless, l gave a nicer sound.    
Stainless as a better sound was a stainless steel rig manufacturer 
advertisement !!!!

Cheers
Barrie
