Mark,
When mine developed a hole last year I ordered one from the Onan dealer in
Indy. I don't recall the name but could probably find it if you need it.
The muffler they sent didn't even come close to fitting so I returned it.
Mine just had a hole at the bend in the pipe and the rest was fairly good
so I just ended up brazing a patch. It's held so far but a replacement is
on my to do list.
My first look around didn't turn up anything common. I was also told that
some of the lawnmower guys could bend pipe that size but didn't find anyone
that actually could do it. I would assume some of GMC suppliers would have
it but I didn't pursue it that far. Anyway I don't recall anybody posting
a solution but I'm also interested in what you find.
I also did the tear down and clean the head thing. It was very dirty and
overheating so I suggest you check yours out thoroughly.
