In a car these are normally used somewhere between the manifold outlet and main catalytic converter. At least in the USA an assortment are carried by every auto parts store with the exhaust repair parts. |

keep in mind too your generator has the possibility of spitting out sparks and stuff out of the engine, there is usually a strainer on the exhaust, cleaning it is part of the maintenance cycle. That is the type of fouling you should expect there. Think about how nasty a car muffler is. You essentially want a water cooled car muffler. Did you ever see a muffler that looks good? |

You need one that has an end that is removable. Quite frankly your best bet would be to obtain a generator that is designed for marine use with a water cooled engine and exhaust manifold, that way you capture all the waste heat and have in effect a CHP unit ( combined heat power). |
