Default quietline muffler

I was using the tiller for the first time the other day and I rattled my 1650's muffler guts to pieces. There is a chunk flopping around and I think it blocks my exhaust every once in a while because I get some lack of power like it is missing. I see that the vendors have 2 different mufflers for sale. The one like I have that has rolled on end caps and a newer version that has welded end caps and supposed to be 35% quieter. Is one preferable than the other one? The PO fabricated a new front grill out of expanded metal and did a pretty good job. I have seen some Quitelines with the exhaust out the grill and some not. the newer replacement muffler has a longer exhaust tip that I would have to shorten or cut a hole in my grill. What is the advantage to the ehaust going through the grill. I'm guessing it is to reduce eating up the grill. I have a nice ring of soot where my exhaust is hitting it. I have also head references to a muffler crutch. I have seen pics on Kirks custom engines. Does anyone have prints to one so I can fab one up already and have it ready to install with minimum downtime.

Grills ahey?
Hummmm.

I custom fabbed a grill for my 1450 in a couple hours. Course I had to make it with a half inch flat steel outer boarder, and I used larger grid expanded metal.
I started by making a cardboard pattern first. I'm waiting for the paint to dry so I can bolt it in place. I suppose you want a picture to.
You'll have to wait till I get one took.

I wanted the heat out, so I just used a piece of shelving, bolt cutters were used to cut it.



Vice-Grips bent the ends of the wires.

Since TSC had paint on clearance, maybe it will get painted soon!!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
