: I just had to use my new generator for about 15 hours during Bonnie - so glad I made the investment in it. I have a question for the folks who have used these things for a while - is it possible to use an automotive type muffler on the generator to quiet it down? Darn thing is loud!

Funny you should ask about the car muffler. I put one on mine, really didn't quiet it down, but I used muffler hangers with the rubber isolators. After about 5 hours of running, the rubber melted from the heat and the vibration broke the muffler off. So at about midnight, my son and I reinstalled the stock (and very loud) muffler. But the noise is better than no heat or lights.
