Muffler/Exhaust for g16

kactus · 04-10-2012, 10:38 AM

Something happened to the muffler on my g16. It was quite but now its very loud. I was afraid it was engine problems, but if I take the muffler off and run the cart(while on jack stands) it doesn't make the noise. I am guessing it may have blown a hole in the muffler under the heat shield, because I cant see anything wrong with it. The cart still runs fine, its just very, very loud. Does anybody have any pic's of a custom exhaust they have built. I really don't want to spend $300 for a new muffler.

Thanks...Brandon

I have a used G16 muffler I just took off my cart for sale cheap. No holes or rust, no noise problems either. PM me if interested.

Don't run it for long periods that way. Air cooled engines that have a muffler are tuned for it. If the muffler is removed you lose back pressure and the engine will run lean. A Lean mixture will cause it to run hot. Valve damage can occur. Some will argue on this but its a fact. I worked on many a motorcycle engine where the owner removed the muffler. And did nothing to re-tune the mixture. The valves had to be replaced.
