In case you are interested, Step 1 was the Impeller upgrade and can be seen HERE.
Step 2 was to build a Thein Baffle in a 35 gallon Brute Trash can and invert the blower above the trash can with a direct connection to the filter collar. You can see the end result in these photos but evidently I did not document the process as intended.
Trash can with Thein Baffle inside.
Vertical, top mounted blower hooked directly to collector collar.
Step 3 I finally got around to this week and that was adding the Wynn Filter. Super simple process and by far the easiest upgrade. It was also the most expensive at $225.
Note: shake down the bag filter before removing it if you do not want a bunch of fine dust all over you. If you want a bunch of fine dust to suck up to try the new mod out, don't worry about it.
Prior to last upgrade.
The Wynn filter 35C222NANO Cartridge Kit
The end result. Noise dropped by 3db to 93 db at 3 feet and 87 db at 6 feet.
I wish I had previously taken amperage readings on the blower motor. It is now working much less. Previously the dust filter bag and the dust collection bag were stretched skin tight with and open 4" hose 6 feet long. Now, with something like 600 percent more surface area on the exhaust, the collection bag still swirls the fine dust nicely and is inflated but is quite relaxed.
