I bought and installed several of these mufflers to use on small engines (up to 2000cc). The engines had one (1), two (2) and four (4) cylinders. The silencer did a very good job of keeping them all quiet. With each installation I welded a drain hole. This is necessary due to the way I use the device. The muffler is located close to the engine and reaches over 400 degrees Fahrenheit in just two (2) minutes, so condensation is not a problem. Several people have said that these mufflers are not stainless steel. You are wrong. These mufflers are made of 409 stainless steel which, like all 400 series stainless steel, is very magnetic. It seems that when most people think of stainless steel, they think of 300 series alloys, most of which are non-magnetic. It should be noted that stainless steel can rust under certain conditions. This muffler can also rust under certain conditions, but even then the corrosion is several orders of magnitude less than ordinary steel, galvanized steel or even aluminized steel. The best thing you can do to reduce corrosion is to place the muffler close to the engine so it heats up quickly and avoid starting and stopping the engine before the muffler is hot enough to stop the engine remove all acidic moisture. from the combustion process, which greatly accelerates corrosion (rust).
