clean by how evenly it look or how it look like it wasn't welded?

Used dial calipers and a belt sander to make all spacing even.

Used a special flat tip on the soldering iron I think it was designed specifically for plastic. Then used a needle file to smooth out the edges before painting it

It does a enough because I am always blastin the air (live in LA so it's cold at night and hot in the day normally) so it helps. Got the thing for $8 on eBay and came a week early. However it was a 3.5mm and not the 2.5mm I needed so I just got An adapter and voila. It works. But it's better than no muffle (stops the popping noise from air) so it's worth it

Had an old Mustang intake laying around... 10 minutes later and this should get me through the winter until I make a custom box.
