Is there a good way to remove a mud wasp nest from my muffler or should I just make a lamp out of it?

Ah yes, the old mud wasp up the muffler trick. There several ways to try to remove the nest, none are great but will probably work. Short of cutting holes and rewelding the muffler us a flexible small rod to get out as much as possible. If the nest is good and dry a rubber mallet will break up a lot of it and shake like crazy. One of the old tricks many years ago was to put the muffler in a fire (or propane torch), get it good and hot, cool as rapid as possible. This would break up (burn) the old oil and nest inside, again using the rubber mallet beat the snot out of it, lots more shaking. Then try the air compressor from the engine side as you apply more rubber mallet. Or make a lamp and get a newer muffler.
