Katy what he is saying is that the pipe expands in length .000001 inches per inch/ degree F. this means that for a length of 10 ft (not a real measurement of a model A muffler) and a temperature increase of 100 degrees F (10 ft =120 inches) therefore, 120 inches X 100 degrees X .000001 =.12 inches expansion in length for the exhaust pipe and muffler. Not very much is it?
