Ocassional used ones show up on ebay at a fair price $50ish [IMHO] There is also a nelson one on there [original mfgr]that looks close but the exit is shorter.The item # is 161416326316 [I'm too dumb to post a link.]
As far as the pepper or "soup can" mufflers I was not a fan either until I came across a couple of "factory" tecumseh and wisconsin part numbered mufflers at a swap meet-no comparison in quality and decibel level to the 5.99 arnold replacement at Theisens or Menards.I thread the existing pipe while on the machine install a 1" 45 degree elbow angled forward and a bit down with a 2 inch long or so nipple and the noise is more than managable.I see the "factory" tecumseh and wisconsin mufflers on e-bay in the 10 buck range but its almost as much to ship.Hope the input helps-Later Steve!!!
