Additional information

This engine muffler shield mounts over the muffler and acts as a barrier between hot exhaust components and surrounding engine parts. Part number 951-11339 helps manage heat around the muffler area during normal engine operation.

If the shield cracks, bends, or comes loose, nearby components may be exposed to excess heat. You may notice rattling noises, visible heat damage to surrounding parts, or exposed muffler surfaces during inspection.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. Allow the engine and muffler to cool completely before handling exhaust components, and handle the shield carefully to avoid sharp edges.
