Granted, it would not have the asthetics (sp??) that some would like, but it would create more surface area to pull heat out of the exhaust, and if done neatly, would at least break up/disguise a crappy old barell. Someone with the right fabrication and artistic skills could make something pretty nice I bet.

Although personally, I like the idea of punding some artwork into the barell- I am envisioning skulls n demon faces looking like they are trying to break through from the inside of the barell, but I doubt I have that kind of talent.



I think you may be onto something, increasing the surface area by making an accordion like bends in the material that will go around the barrel. This could also be made out of copper and when done would look pretty nice. Being an electronics type cooling fins popped into my head as soon as I saw your post.
