Briggs muffler help?

[frixmatthew]

Ive got a B&S 14hp opposed twin on my mower and here recently I noticed some popping coming from the exhaust, also my mom and brother said they could smell the exhaust, so I figured it was an exhaust leak, I pulled the exhaust off today and found some small rust holes on the bottom of the exhaust. I was thinking about buying 2 screw on exhaust like whats usually on a push mower and putting on it so i dont have to spend $90 on a new exhaust. So my question is will the screw exhaust work?

Heres somewhat of what I was thinking of buying.

I have seen those cherry red on more than one engine. Had a customer that used them on his sawmill with a 16hp vanguard that would burn them about about once a month.

If you are talking about the internal threads in the exhaust port, yes, they are standard pipe threads.

Well yea I knew I could use them, Im just curious if it would sound okay and run okay with then mufflers on it.

Why not have a patch welded on the old muffler?

That is what those threads are for. you can get the pipe and elbows if desired and get a screw on muffler for the end of the pipe
