MG Midget Madness (i.e. It was either this or kill it with fire)

Finished cutting, fitting and tacking the inside portion of the muffler/X pipe/collector/pre-silencer (or whatever you want to call it) that fits under the transmission opening.

This needs to be finish tig'ed and wrapped in medium and coarse stainless steel wool before being enclosed in a stainless steel case. The bolts that will attach it to the rest of the exhaust system need to be tig'ed into the flange holes with the flanges sealed and tig'ed to the case. Not perfect alignment on the one leg, but pretty close. I hope that between the exhaust pulses merging and the slight angle in the wrapped case, it will cut down a little on the noise before it hits the other two mufflers. It isn't going to be a very big case (approx. 12" x 10 - 12") so I had to use a couple of other strategies to quiet things down with this one. I may be kidding myself that this will help, but it certainly can't hurt.
