Question John, I have a 10yr old 2500 series Simplicity (Massey) Tractor 1692493. It has a 12HP B&S I/C model 289707, type 0113-01, code 9503294B. that muffler is LOUD. it looks like surface rust on most of it, but it is solid, stout, loud and proud. how can i tame that bugger? do you know of a good aftermarket solution under $100? i saw a SuperTrapp S5 + resonator setup that ran around $100. i don't know if would fit so great though. thank you for making time for this forum.
