I have a different muffler than most people it seems, see the picture:

The exhaust system comes in different parts:
- pipe connected to engine
- main muffler
- end piece
- inside there is a kind of silencer
- All these parts are connected by a long bolt and nuts
It seems a lot of air is escaping through the various openings though and also the exhaust is rather loud. Does anyone have any advise on how to make less air escape and make this muffler quieter?
Ordering a new chrome one is not an option as my location is Kenya and most places won't ship to Kenya.
I plan to weld the pipe to the main muffler and maybe even plan to weld everything together. Don't think I really need to open the exhaust. I sprayed the muffler with high heat black paint but it started coming off after the first ride. I ordered exhaust wrap which I will hopefully be able to put on nicely.
