Default Magic Hand Yak, DL-50 canister

I have a new Magic Hand 30% Yak (old lady suprised me for Xmas, she's a keeper), and a brand new DL-50. I would like to put a canister on it to quiet it down a little. My field doesn't really have a noise problem, but we don't want one either. Paying what you have to for a factory canister is not an option, I'll just put the stock muffler on and call it a day. I've read bunches on building a canister out of the aluminum beer bottles. Does anyone have a proven schematic for building one, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel. Any feedback on the Durafix brazing rods would be cool too.

Also, any tips specific to the MH Yak that I should know before building?

Thanks to Bonejuster for directing my wife on what to buy.

Thanks
Bill

There are some after market headers and cans available for way less than big name brands. I have a couple for my DL 100 and they are quiet well made. worth about $70bucks for the can and flexible header. I think I saw some on ebay.
