FYI:
I just had to replace my 6KW onan muffler and the
small pipe that runs up to the manifold. Jeff
at Alex Sirums had a replacement muffler that I
bought for $119. They had it in stock two weeks ago.
I can only assume that they have or can get more.
They also have the small pipe. I think they
make those, not sure. Sure beats $230.
The muffler is a little longer (about 2") but same
diameter. The fit was excellant and works great.

|I need to replace the onan muffler and checked on a replacement.
|It seems the original muffler is not available anymore but Onan
|has a similar
|muffler. Comes as a kit 155-1962. The dealer wanted $275.77.
|>From the GMCMI newsletter I found that Don Simmons was selling a
|stainless
|steel muffler and exhaust tube for $225.00. However after talking to him,
|he's not making them anymore even with an order of 10. He only
|sold 4 in five
|years and is very disappointed that the GMC community didn't support him.
|I'm going to fabricate my own stainless steel muffler. Buying the material
|just for one muffler will cost $140.00 plus $60.00 for welding, drilling
|holes and bending the tube.
|Buying the material in bulk, enough to make 20 mufflers will cost
|$87.00 per
|kit.
|If there is interest I will do the leg work and put it together.
|The price would be around $150.00 or less if the shop charges me less than
|$60.00 per unit.
