Air compressor sound reduction cabinet - good for shop vac?

[David Buchhauser]

I purchased a shop vac exhaust "muffler" on Amazon to try out with my large Craftsman shop vac. It didn't really make it any quieter that I could tell, but it did restrict the exhaust flow and seemed to reduce the level of suction of the shop vac. I sent it back for a refund.

This may or may not work, but if you go to U-TUB and search " sound cabinet for shop vac " there are a lot of plans that you can make and show different way to get air in and out of the cabinets.

Good luck and let us know how it works out for you.

Thanks Richard. I've seen some good designs over the years. Maybe at some point I'll actually get some time to build one!. That was the appeal of this pre-made cabinet - not having to take the time to build something. But after mulling over and considering the discussion here, I don't think it would really get me any further ahead considering the modifications I might need to do to get adequate exhaust.
