Description

This muffler deflector is a genuine replacement part designed for use on select Briggs & Stratton engines. The deflector is responsible for attaching to the low-tone muffler to help deflect the noise and exhaust fumes to reduce vibrations and emissions and improve engine performance. This part is exposed to high temperatures, vibrations, and harsh emissions, and it can become corroded or fail over time, causing excessive muffler noise and exhaust discharge. A proper replacement will ensure that the machine is always operating at peak performance. In some cases, a muffler deflector will be required for operation per EPA guidelines. This genuine OEM muffler deflector can be used on select lawn and garden machines that feature Briggs & Stratton engines that take this part, including those from the brand as well as some machines from Toro. There are hundreds of models that can use this specific part, including lawn tractors, snow throwers, mowers, and tillers. It is sold as an individual unit and includes the screws required for replacement. It is a good idea to inspect other exhaust components when replacing this part. Whenever engine work is being performed, the engine should be completely cooled. Work in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves for protection.
