Professor95 said: No, no, no. Getting the muffler outside the box only reduces the heat build-up inside the enclosure. It does not change the sound. Getting heat out allows you to make a smaller, tighter enclosure. I also plan to wrap the internal exhaust pipe to the muffler with heat wrap used on exhaust headers to further reduce inside heat.

I did understand that the purpose of putting the muffler outside the box is to reduce the heat build-up in it. But in your prototype you mentioned that the muffler is outside and below the enclosure. Looking at your photos, the platform the generator is on appears to have 1" x 6" x 3/4" sides at the top. With the muffler installed below the enclosure it appears that it is effectively surrounded by the 1x6 boards. I was wondering if that did not help to muffle the sound from the muffler.
