Without the silly trumpet sound, during the revs yeah. Sounds halfway good~

Speaking as a trumpet player, that part of the vid was both heresy and hilarity combined. Take that, woodwinds!

[@mrmadunit3923]

Are you Dr. Frasier or are you Dr. Niles ??? lol

[@100GTAGUY]

As a trumpet player myself, im kinda interested in seeing a woodwind muffler now. Mouthpiece and reed installed of course. Might be able to get different notes easier than with a trumpet and its valves.

[@JSMCPN]

@@100GTAGUY Adding a proportionately-sized reed to the exhaust side of the engine would absolutely "work". Many small engines actually use reeds to regulate air intake and compression. It's a rapid series of reed open/close vibrations, where a rush of air travels into the cylinder through the reed, which then snaps shut as the piston compresses the air, preventing the air from escaping.

[@JSMCPN]

@@mrmadunit3923 Damn, now that you've asked.... I'm uncertain!

[@dannop2562]

Trouble is, woodwinds restrict airflow even more than that trumpet. You’d also have to make a way to progressively/actively press the reed (as lips do) to pitch it, but even just a couple of rubber bands slid in/out on the mouthpiece might make that work.

[@KR15ING]

The camera pan from the fuel dripping to the blowtorch did it for me😂

The fact that the trumpet kinda sounds a like a straight piped VQ is hysterical

[@thevoiceofcake]

Remember the decibel scale is logarithmic not linear. Every 3db on the scale represents a doubling of the power. So even a small difference in the measured number can represent a large difference in actual volume.

[@Daltonleach11]

You aren't wrong, but it is a bit misleading. 3db IS doubling of power. However, the intensity, which is the sound power per a specific amount of area, is linear. So 20db is 10 times more intense than 10db. But stopping there would also be misleading, as perceived LOUDNESS, is a doubling per every tenfold increase in intensity or, db. So 20 db is TWICE as "loud" as 10db. So +/-10db is ×/÷2 loudness.

[@1nicube]

we dont perceive it like that. Your statement is true, but we ear it differently. For each 10db step, we increase (or decrease) the perceive volume by two (or half).

[@Okurka.]

Doesn't really matter; the phone wasn't at the same distance of the exhaust in the separate tests.

Steve's big muffler would have measured quieter than the stock muffler but you have the opening pointed right at the decibel meter versus the stock muffler's exit was pointed more up and away from the meter.

[@dannop2562]

Noticed that. A tail cone would help and would probably be sufficient to get that twin sound…

[@night_drifter]

27:17 a bagpipe would work well😂😂😂

[@observingrogue7652]

Yes!

[@oilleakalley4990]

I wish that was true! You’d have to take all the reeds out of a bagpipe to do this with it, so it wouldn’t make any bagpipe noises. Also, the mouthpiece of a bagpipe flows a lot less than a trumpet, but that could at least be bypassed.

[@realkilju]

Put a 2stroke exhaust chamber on the engine

[@p.k.953]

[@noneya69]

Tip for your laptop i have the same one you can upgrade the internal components for cheap and make it run stronger, start with the ram its the most limiting component on the laptop, it comes with 8 gigs of ram to start depending on your model, but you can get up to 64+ gigs of ram. Love your content keep up the good work

[@Steve-sxsblogparts]

I looked into that when I first bought it but never got around to doing it, I really should. Thanks!

[@mikebilly822]

Loving this channel

[@tayalyn08]

The trumpet muffler sounds like a pissed off nitro RC

[@chrisburn7178]

So, you were correct (sort of) in that if you double the sound pressure it's represented as +3dB pressure level. However this is not a doubling of loudness due to the logarithmic properties of the ear's response to sound. For most people with normal hearing, +3dB is just about audibly louder, with around +10dB being a perceived doubling of loudness.

[@russogc48]

I like the function of the Blue one, it has the best of both worlds. Low RPM is pretty quiet but in hi RPM sounds crazy 🤣

[@craigbecker4816]

Over the top ,way to go definitely do some more.

[@pauliewalnuts240]

When we lost power for 3 weeks due to a hurricane a few yrs ago, people would steal your lawnmower and zip tie the handle so it would run by itself, before stealing your generator and letting the mower run to mask its disappearance. This was done overnight and most people had relatively small generators but you wouldn't wake up due to any audible difference. If any of these work, you could market them as generator theft reduction devices. A very specific and uncapitalized market, Specifically for long term power outrages after hurricanes.

[@hoodiepapa7344]

The blue one should be called "the Bishop "

[@BrianAllen174]

Justin cracks me up.

[@emsrcs]

All jokes aside, the trumpet at high revs sounds like a vq35/37 from an infinity as the joke goes. However, I think you are on to something with the blue muffler because unequal length headers are a thing, mostly a subaru thing, but they can change the way the flat 4 sounds. So, keep experimenting with the unequal length mufflers.

[@brubowski9468]

Steve yet again, proves himself as the 110 Garage genius, loving this cool stuff, I wanna see how you did the research for this!!

[@brokesxs2547]

Sounds like the bike from excite bike lol

[@pauliewalnuts240]

Your actually 100% right.

[@simonallan9941]

That spiral cone sounds awesome 👌, its like the difference when running a motor using twin pipes completely separate, with the real crackle sound, thats why people have a junction connection between twin exhausts, to prevent this, but if you used the two outlets going into separate tail pipes, you could really make a single cylinder sound like a Mad Max machine 😮, I would really like to try one on my Honda VTR which I'm always changing the muffler on, thank you awesomely for sharing your great experiments and experiences.

[@mudbrats]

Steve killed it on this one. Engineer doing engineer things.😂. I am printing a twister and trying it on my wolverine! Kewp up the great times
