Thanks to OLD & SLOW and Professor

Professor that is the equivalent of what I have now made out of plywood and 2x2's with 3.5" bolts and wing nuts 5 minutes to set it up and a little sturdier for the wind and rain and snow we get in those months in northern WI...I have glued old acoustic ceiling tiles I took out of my basement to the inside of the plywood.I just was thinking if I could add another panel like I have to block off about 3/4 of the exhaust end I could get it a little quieter without overheating??

prof may come in here and have a better understanding of what you are after. on the exhaust end, yes a end panel will help. you can extend the exhaust with a 3/4" pipe flange. use the bright metal plate from the spark arrester as a templete. drill holes that match the templete plate. you can grind the pipe flange to match if you want to go that far. use a 3/4" pipe nipple the length needed. there are several other ways that might come to mind to get the exhaust out from the end panel. with the foam experment i used a 2" pipe nipple through the foam without a melt down but was only for a temp. trial. prof has never approved the use of carpet but i use it successfully as the last layer and use fire flame=x to cover the carpet. your idea of the frame build is great as a portable setup. perhaps a pic when funished would be good. more folks hopefully will join the builders club. after 8 boxes i continue to look for new ideas. at present and for the next two months i will be one handed. i'm rearin' to finish the 3 1/2" walled box. my dream is to reach a true 55 dbA. got to work in prof's idea of the use of hardie backerboard as one layer. some sound engineers say one layer must be a sound block and one layer should absorb sound. i'm just a novice out on the town having a last fling of fun.
