Maybe someone can point me in the right direction here. My Dad bought a new air compressor and he bought this thing called a silencer for it. It has a 1/4 NPT thread on it and it looks like a air filter inside. I guess it is some kind of exhaust maybe to muffel the sound. My question is, we cant figure out where it goes, lol. I thought it maybe went where the air filter was, but it doesnt fit there, the air filter slides in and this silencer us supposed to thread in.
