Basically, the exhaust gas has to squeeze through the equivalent of a 1/2 inch pipe.... then go through the perforated steel. This is the same on both sides of course.

Even though it's badly bunged up, it still goes ok...
Very good ! Mine was registered on gas to beat the new emission laws and I had it muffled down so much that I had to attach a vacuum cleaner onto the exhaust to get it to start. That only happened about 4 times but it was very funny. Start it, it fires, Jump out and disconnect the vacuum cleaner before it blew up. I couldn't run the engine too hard .too much backpressure
