Ha! great!
I will make two CC/inlet caps. One with straight inlets for a control-setup and one with bend inlets as the experiment.
Thinking of making bolted flanges on the caps and the CC and using softened copper or exhaust-thinges/paste/filler/whatever as a seal.

Good idea. try to use some thick steel for the cap and flanges so that when you bolt the cap(s) on, the caps will compress whatever you use as a sealant instead of buckling around it to get a good seal.

I will. And the flanges (then also on the tailpipe side) will also provide the posibility of the future use of ceramic (Al2O3) pipe for the CC:

Personal sacrifices for science

Sometimes personal sacrifices for science are needed, this might be such a case...

Naw just get some ablative glue, like phenolic resin. Then maybe itll last 10 or even 15 seconds :P
