Great Idea
I'm working on a 460 right now, and am doing an NPT muffler mod, as opposed to getting the factory OEM "fire-safe" (read "pre-EPA style") muffler. Think I'll try that compression fitting with the screen. When it's done I'll post a pic or two and let you know how it turns out. I'm planning to use a steel NPT for the piece that joins the muffler and oxy-MAPP braze it in place. We'll see how it comes out.
A person could use 1/2" mpt to 5/8" compression if they wanted a bigger opening. Aerator fits better there too, though trimming's no big woop.
