Sorry, I don't have a model number. I'm in the house and it's raining outside. This is probably the same muffler they put on a lot of these Troybilts. I'll post a pic of the engine below.
But there's an extremely loud rattle coming from the inside of this muffler. I haven't take it off yet. Wanted to see if this was a common occurrence with these? If there ws a place I could screw a thin self tapper into, to stop it, without having to by a new one?

Model number and engine in the pictures.

I’ve gotten more life out of a few mufflers that separated on the inside. Remove the air deflector from the muffler and drill a few holes to add screws then put deflector back on. It may take a long screw to catch the inners and pull towards output area of the muffler then add some smaller screws.
