rather than wrapping it with wire, use expanded sheet metal.
you need to fully support it.

There needs to be a lot more stuffing as well,... stuffing that won't burn up and disintegrate.

And it doesn't need to have full coverage. some holes is fine.
the purpose of the fiberglass is create an infinite number of passages for the gas to expand into, thereby deadening the sound.

I agree. The first couple of inches of the holes should be uncovered to let the noise pulse into the chamber with the stuffing.

Perlite lol. In theory, if it could be contained, and if it wouldn't melt, it might actually work.
Anyway, after my 75 mile ride on Sunday, I noticed that the chrome on my muffler is already turning blue in one spot - near where it attaches to the segway pipe. There is no 'thickness' there really, so I'm not surprised. Looks like I might be painting it sooner than later.
Another day in the life of a muffler experiment...

They said 434 won't rust, but I know that 400 series ss rusts so would treat that claim with suspicion.
But other than that, looks interesting. give 'er a go.

Fiberglass made for mufflers last a few thousand miles,You have to pack it tight so it doesn't slide down to the end.

That stainless steel looks like a decent buy for 1lb.

I am still running an ugly u-bolt clamp and it sucks. I discovered my joint is leaking today. The clamp I ordered turned out to be too large. It said 1.75, but they didn't list the min clamping range, which turned out to be 1.82" or something. Other ads on Ebay gave better info.
So, some ads (from dif sellers) for a t-bolt clamp rated at 1.75" are actually different clamps. Pays to look for a min clamping range.
