JAinVA 4,619 #1 Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Jim Kemp let us know he was building a Nelson muffler replacement for the one on a 312.He was generous enough to send me one for evaluation.Here is what I found.Jim's muffler is very well built using a thicker shell.This shell shows no visible seam and the entire unit is about 50% heavier than stock.The inlet is set up for 1" pipe so that it can't be mounted to the stock Kohler elbow.I informed Jim about this and he is going to look into this issue.I have tested the prototype for sound quality comparing it to a pepper pot,generic replacement and stock Nelson.Sound measurements taken at the camera location show that Jim's prototype is the quietest of all 4 mufflers and 7 decibels lower than the first 2.

IADave 1 #12 Posted April 10, 2023 Jim, are you producing this particular muffler? I have a 314 Hydro with a Kohler Magnum that I'd like to buy one for. Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,281 #13 Posted April 10, 2023 Don't know if @jimkemp would see this request from a five year old thread. Scroll up to the response Jim made to the thread, put the cursor over the photo below his name and click on "Message". That will let you send him an email. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
