Default RE: Need to quiet down my DL 50

Okay everyone. So i still haven't recieved my muffler yet. However, i am basically getting it cut, drilled, and welded by my friends dad at a machine shop for free so i am not complaining. I am looking over the plane and brain storming ideas for mounting this thing. First thing, with these long canister like mufflers i constantley here references to a tunnel. First off, is it necessary that the muffler be open to the outside. If, i decide to mount it inside the plane will this cause problems. I am thinking of moving to a smaller fuel tank, in the 12-15oz category (all ready get 30+ minutes on the 24oz), and moving it back on the cg. I am worried about over heating the inside of the plane as it isn't very big and it would be pretty cramed in there.
