Default New muffler

....finally. I purchased a Nelson global from an online site that offered a decent price; they had the muffler for sale but didn't have it in stock. They offered a refund, but said it would be in later and I could wait if I wanted to. I didn't need the muffler right away so I'd opted to wait. Almost two months later I get an email that said it was on its way.



It was important to me that it looked like an original one and fit the same way. There were some mufflers that looked similar but didn't have the end cut the same way, so I didn't want them.



The small hole was causing the front end to turn black. I also found out that it had loose baffles inside.







OLD

VS new

Overall I'm pleased with it so far. It doesn't sound much different to me, but the mrs. said she noticed that the new one was quieter. I can't really tell because I always run it wearing ear plugs.

looks good as the original.

It looks too short to be comparable to an OEM muffler from the pic of them side by side?

The muffler was 55 dollars, free shipping. There's a spacer that goes under the shield? How thick? I've got it bolted right up to the shield. The old one was that way and it was ok......




The mufflers are the same length, it's an optical illusion.

The spacer goes under the heat shield where the bolt holds it on.not on the elbow.

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.
