When I built my Stainless Steel pipes I used 1 and3/4 inch perforated pipe for the central core ,this was wrapped in silencer packing for the entire length of the core.
I found it to be still a trifle loud ,so I then made and inserted the reducers that I have told you about.
Before you start drilling I would think about buying or making a fully perforated inner central core the same length as the one in the photo,wrap it in silencer type wool and see how you like the sound.Everyone has a different noise level that they are trying to obtain.
Hope this has been of assistance.

I would but 1)-i know i'll have a hard time finding that.....2)-i'm sure it'll cost a good bit....3)- it's not going to have the end piece or a threaded hole for the screw that holds it in,and that would be i'd have to do that which would be a biotch to say the least.....finding a part thats the right diameter, having it weled on, get a hole tapped for a bolt. Just too much stuff that will take forever to find and do. I just know it's not gonna be easy. Just like the reducers where 2 people said muffler shops did thiers cheap. I called 20 and not one would do it.

So i'll probably drill them at least 1/2 way, then if that helps but not quite enough i'll drill the rest. Either that or if i can find a way to make reducers. Speaking of which, did you find the reducers made them quieter than all that packing?
