At first I just unplugged it.
However, it's still blocking exhaust flow by 10-15% even with just 2 or 3 turns in.

Today I drilled out the pilot hole under the exhaust tip, on the muffler can, for more airflow and noise, with a 3/4 inch and later with a 7/8 in.

The piston ended up being jammed in the engine,...
