Just the shells, TJ, the 1/8" thick SS washers are history.  I have
concluded that no reasonable thickness of metal will stand up to the
exhaust
pulse for long if it is perpendicular to the shock wave.  I believe that
if
I could shape them into cones where by the shock wave would hit the side
of
the cone  at an oblique angle  would probably survive - now all I have to
do
is find some {:>).

Ed,
There plenty of SS cones available in 1.6mm, I'm using them in my exhaust
which is a joint venture design with Bill Jepson - the idea is to redirect
the shock waves but not restrict the exhaust, as you have alluded to.
