FYI - Genset Exhaust Parts
I'm already starting to think about a winter project to do on my much-modified DuroPower genset. I'm considering moving towards enclosing the bottom (the sides and top are already enclosed) for further sound attenuation, so it would be desireable to move the muffler out of the enclosure to keep radiated heat down.
The Chinese gensets' exhaust systems use fairly small diameter exhaust pipe, so automotive sources don't have tubing, clamps, flanges, etc. small enough to be useful. It has been previously well-covered in this thread about adapting galvanized pipe, black iron pipe, and EMT conduit.
I just happened to do some searching on Ebay today and found that there are some possibilites in the karting world. I found a vendor on Ebay that sells exhaust flanges for Honda clone engines and even sells an exhaust kit that includes the flange and mandrel-bent and straight tubing for fabricating an exhaust system - apparently everything slip-fits and you have to weld-up the system once you've fitted the pieces: go kart exhaust kit.
Seems to be a handy source for some of the exhaust components I'll need ... just thought I'd pass the info along!

John
