#0 sourceAnyone know where the best location is on the muffler of a Brodak .40 to mount a muffler pressure fitting? My muffler is the stock Brodak with the 6 holes drilled in the tail.

I put one in the same location as the taps on the OS muffler. Worked fine but may I suggest you get a tongue muffler from our host. Much lighter and has a spot for the tap.

If you wish to put a tap on these, the location really isn't important. Anywhere in the chamber should give you about the same amount of pressure. Just mount it where it is convenient. You can even mount it on the exhaust inlet if you want. Someone once told me this would not work, so I tried it. Interestingly it did work. So if you need a muffler tap, just put it where it will be most convenient to use.

Have to agree with our host here.While there is ,in theory,higher pressure at the port than the muffler exit,the difference is negligble.The reason there's any change at all is that the gasses at the port are at their lowest volume and highest temperature and pressure.As they expand in the chamber they lose heat and pressure,and heat is also lost by conduction and convection to the outside air.It's true that they are restricted again at the exit pipe,but by that time much of the volume has bled off.

#4 sourceI agree with our host and F4F guy, no doubt they will be relieved to know that........
I am NOT an expert, but I tried Muffler Pressure a long time ago and found ( as Leonard and F4F guy say ) it does not seem to matter where the tap comes out.
I tuck mine away out of sight under the muffler so it looks a bit neater.
