Gas/Diesel muffler diff?

[OldCaseNewman]

I see in the All States catalog diesel, gas, and diesel-gas mufflers. One diesel muffler us the best fit but I have a gas tractor. I could make one if their gas mufflers fit but would have to go to a muffler shop, not a huge problem if thats what it takes. Thanks

I would try it!

I used a gas car muffler on a diesel genset once, no problem that I could see. Used it because it fit, inlet and outlet on the same end, stood it on end.

I used to build a lot of custom exhaust work,the muffler will work fine.

Thank you. I got the gas one and got a shop to make a sleeve to make it fit. This was a real cheap muffler from a tractor supply has heavy metal and looks like original ( I think). But doesnt do any muffling. As far as I can tell. The glass pack I took off because it was too tall to get into the shed was cutting the noise by half. Guess Ill have to lose some HP if I want it low and a little quieter?

Thanks, Ill try one that fits then. The glass pack I took off was ok but two inches too tall to get into the shed

iesel mufflers emit more black smoke than the gas mufflers. :twisted:

Could it be the cubic inch of one engine bigger than the other the reason for different sizes for volume of exaust thru it? Same size engine I cannot see a reason unless different way it is mounted.

In my meager thinking a diesel creates more exhaust flow. More air in equals more exhaust out.
