I recently put a pk80 with a port and Reed box on my bike I added an mz65 pipe and now it sounds and rides like a dirt bike.
It's very loud and I love my neighbors so I decided it needed a muffler so... I looked around the shop and found an aluminum baseball bat and a crutch and an old paint can and built myself a muffler in about 20 minutes.
And the only tools that I need was a cut off wheel on my grinder a drill and a rivet gun.
First take your baseball bat and determine approximately where you need to cut it and to what length.
You'll probably want to cut it just a little bit long and that way you can have enough room to trim it down instead of cutting it too short.
Next take the crutch and remove the adjustable sliding bottom piece that allows you to adjust it for people's height.
Next take and cut the top off of the can that you are going to use for your cap.
And you should end up with these three pieces. See photo.
Next take the baseball bat and cut four or five slots in the end so that you can put a hose clamp on it to clamp it onto your pipe. Take and grind a flat area for the hose clamp to sit on. See the second picture.
Put the piece of crutch inside of a baseball bat like this. Thrird picture
Then take the top of the paint can that you've chosen and put it over the end of the bat drill a couple holes in it so you can pop some rivets in it and you're done.
I still have to sand it down and paint it but it works and it didn't cost me anything and I built it in 20 minutes.
I'm sure there are a lot of different items that you can use around the house if you look for them.
