mitch: I wouldn't shorten the exhaust pipe from the manifold. If you put that mufler down closer to the hood it will burn the paint off hood. Go with Mike's idea of making a cut with hacksaw on each side of mufler inlet, then put a good clamp on it.

You'll soon know if that mufler creates too much back presure, those little C-123 engines will burn the guts right out of a mufler long before you hurt valves. I use a straight pipe on my 130 as it will even burn up an IH replacment mufler in about 2 years. I wouldn't put a series of pipe and elbos for down under mufler either. I saw a guy do that and he did burn valves.

I have a mufler on my Super A, about the length you need. I picked it up used at a fleamarket. I believe it is from a Cockshutt 20. I mow with SA thus I wanted shorter exhaust for going under trees. As for the hinged rain cover on these little gas engines, take it off and heave it as far as you can. These little engines don't blow the cap completely open, thus you burn the cap up quite quickly. Carry a soup can in your tool box.
