Something is in my muffler.

I took my muffler off to remove the engine and if I shake the muffler back and forth, I can hear multiple things moving inside but none are small enough to come out either end. Could it just be large pieces of carbon? I read all the time about cutting them open to clean them. Do I open it lengthwise and stop before I reach the neck that starts up to the engine or do I take it somewhere to get oxy-acetylene cleaned?

It's chunks of carbon.

You could cut it and reweld it just like you said, or torch-clean it. You could also just throw it into a hot fire for 10-15 minutes.

If there's a chemical that cleans these, I'd like to see it.
