Re-muffler an Onan P218 or P220

Has anyone re-mufflered an Onan P218 or P220 with anything other than the stock Nelson unit?

Used ones in good shape have become kinda scarce and very pricey, and while I love the timbre it can be pretty loud for an extended session.

That is why I often encourage folks to glass bead the original and paint it, after it is full of holes there is a hard lesson to learn.  Outside storage also is costly in the long term.

Mine came with a couple of holes that I've patched with muffler cement, but I know that is not a long-term solution.

Tuneup

Mine was shot when I got it. I'll cut-off the tubes at the muffler and will see if I can weld a couple on there. I have an H&F welder that needs to be played with and those old B&S mufflers are pretty cheap. That 520 is a winter project - two decks ahead of it.
