QUIET Exhaust - Listeroid - HOW?

(1/7) > >>

veggie:

I'm looking for ideas to make a listeroid exhaust super quiet for residential use without having to dig a hole in the ground and bury everything.
Other houses are within 150 ft of the engine location.
I want to run the unit for 4 hrs per day without upsetting the neighbors.
Has anyone built a silent exhaust system for their Lister/roid?

dax021:
But a Lister exhaust throb is a beatiful sound and so nice for rocking one to sleep.  Your neighbours should pay you to listen to that exhaust.

I cannot improve on that statement.

But what I did, was have an adapter welded up to 2" pipe, a flanged diesel truck braided flex hose, and then into a good sized truck muffler.  It's not silent, but a steady thump thump, about as loud at the mechanical rattle from the camshaft stuff.
See the link in my .sig for lister running , for a short video

veggie:
The concern is that if the lister is running at 10PM there may be issues with neighbours.
Especially if it runs for 4 hours before automatically shutting off when the water storage tank reaches 180f.
Sound travels at night.
I have seen some very quite systems where there is hardly any exhaust pop at all, but they have been underground tanks.

veggie:
... I'm thinking of 3 large automotive mufflers in a row. Something like 2-1/2" inlet/outlet sizes.
Anyone tried that? I wonder about the back pressure.
