Default RE: ENGINE sound level

As many have said 82Db is low but we have a professional complainer that
lives near our site and he got the council out to sound test and they came up with
the 82Db
i placed some wing tape around the inside of my cowl as there is a 3mm space
all around and i re cut the holes for the needle valve and such as to increase
the clearance
i have also re-cut a new scoop for the muffler but there is still some contact
and i don't think i can cut anymore out
the muffler sits at a strange angle and there is no way that i can see to
straighten it up
what i would like to do is get an extension for between
the engine and the muffler that would push the muffler out just enough
to clear the fuse but i cant find any where on-line that does them
and my local model shop has no idea what i am talking about
this is a pain as i have only flew it once and loved it

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP................. ...........
