During the Y2K scare I rushed out an bought a generator. Any generator. Didn't need it. The generator sat for two years. Ever few months I would go out to the shed and start it. Every time I would say to myself, "Boy, this generator is noisy." Well this year we needed the noisy generator. Wasn't Y2K, wasn't a hurricane, not even a tropical storm. One heck of a lot of bad thunder storms tore up the area where we live. No power for 3 days. Boy is this generator noisy.
I decided that the generator exhaust noise had to go. It was an irritating tinny sound, and loud. I searched for a solution and decided on a SuperTrapp Muffler. After reading all the information "How a Super Trapp Works!" I decided on the 5S-1000T model equipped with a 4 inch resonator. Follow the directions I ordered a 5s-1000T, 3-pack of disc's, and the 4 inch resonator.  
When the parts arrived I assembled them into the complete muffler assembly I removed the standard muffler to find that the exhaust port of my engine was not threaded with standard NPT threads.       You guessed it. The part came and would not fit. There was a head bolt in the way and the tube part of the adapter would not fit into the exhaust port.  The complete job was not very hard. I did have to do a little re-engineering to fit thing together but, all and all, it was done with just regular tools that I had already. We are up and running. I am very pleased with the tone of the generator now. |
