there are two online lawn mower suppliers that I know of to get these from. They are Briggs & Stratton and Tecumseh

Mufflers on generators make the generator quieter by dispersing the exhaust gases that come out of the motor. The more the gases are dispersed the less noise that is produced

The expensive way is to install a commercially available product (like the Supertrapp Quiet Muffler). A more affordable option would be in install a stock motorcycle muffler, available used, in like-new condition from just about any motorcycle shop (because the owner wanted a custom model) but some fabrication will be required to install it.

A generic muffler is a good choice for noise reduction. They are fairy inexpensive in comparison to other mufflers you may find that are of the same quality.
