Can I use a car muffler?

Unfortunately, a car muffler would significantly change the back-pressure and will adversely affect the engine.

Our engines are engineered and tested with Briggs & Stratton parts. Any non-authorized modifications made to the engine can and will change the performance and ultimately shorten the lifespan of the engine.
