Has anyone come up with a Decent Replacement Muffler for a D 200?

[racin_ny 25]

I've looked on here for a couple days but have found no real resolution for a D 200 replacement muffler. It appears my best bet might be dirt bike mufflers.That idea came from a post I saw from our friends across the pond. Does anyone have anything better for a stock position D 200 replacement muffler?

Nothing for a stock position muffler but a Gravely muffler and stack worked for me. You may be able to figure a way to use it in its factory location as it has a side inlet and center outlet

Us 'D' owners feel your pain. I had 2 of the "biscuit" types on my 180 for years and always hated them. Some months back after another post discussing this I opted for one of the tractor type mufflers that was too long, determined that I could make them work. What I did probably isnt for everyone but I ended up with a pretty nice set-up.

 

I cut a section out of the muffler - 4-5 inches? - and with a good bit of time and fiddling I welded them back together to fit pretty much as the factory ones did. For the tail pieces I went to the local muffler shop and had him make me up two 1" 90° bends and welded them on - I didnt want them pointing down as original.
