They could, but would raise costs. I suspect regular lawn mower sales are very competitive, many being sold at big box stores that tend to stock the lower priced offerings. It is possible an extra $20 muffler could price them out of quite a few sales.Honda generators, at least some of them, are pretty quiet. Would think they could
do that to their mower engines if they wanted to do so.
My 2¢

Flowmowster!Put some zoomies on it.
Flowmowster!
And faster too...Flowmasters make everything sound better
Bingo!I had a Toro Recycler 22" (B&S 190cc) that had the blade brake, I was surprised to find out how much louder it was with the blade engaged. It was actually pretty quiet when the blade wasn't spinning from what I remember.
Our neighborhood kinda works on the “who just mowed“ method. One person on the block will mow in the morning. By the evening, or the next day, everyone else starts theirs. It’s funny because no one will mow until one person actually starts on his lawn.I like for my neighbors to hear me mow my lawn .
Haha, they actually can sound pretty good, there was a guy who was bombing around the streets on a riding mower that was geared up with some more open exhaust and when I heard it around the corner I thought it was a harley until I saw it.I’d like to know where I can get some tuned headers for my v-twin mower.
This is the absolute truth. A bigger muffler makes a different sound mostly a deeper note and more tolerable but the parts clanking inside still make it loud.It's kind of a waste of time/money. A different muffler may change the exhaust note, but most of the noise comes from the engine internals and the spinning blade. Some deck designs can allow for quieter running due to the airflow, and in the case of the Honda GCV engines having a timing belt cuts down on the valvetrain noise.
