Cool tutorial. Have you tried getting one of those small tubing cutters? Their like 5 bucks and K&S makes them. You just need to be able to measure, draw a line, and then twirl it around the tubing.

Is ther anything you can't make a muffler out of? You can use metal rod, styrene, pens, straws, and now legos. I'm about to make a tutorial on how to make a muffler out of little kid's teeth...j/k.. they would probally be too out of scale.

Re: How to make a muffler the "i dont have any metal skills" way

that is an excellent tutorial. The step by step process with pictures is VERY clear and intuitive. I wish more tutorials could be as clear.

And seriously, tubing, rods, radio antennas, legos, pens, computer screens, cowboy boots where will it end..!!!

If you get some testors metalizer paints or alclad, they would look more like metal. Cool idea.
