You won't find a muffler for that engine, more than likely. You'll have to fabricate something yourself. Two stroke glow engines typically do not give good smoke, and smaller ones sure do not. Not saying it can't be done, but you'll probably have to engineer it yourself.

Sorry, I know it's not what you wanted to hear.

This is true. USUALLY 2 strokes don't make good smoke due to the low exhaust temp. To get good smoke you must be creative. You can find one solution in the Skybolt thread. There is a step by step contruction tutorial (lots of pictures) and even a video of the smoke system in action on page 9. Hope this helps.
