	I feel the same way about the "honeytone" muffler that is on this
D-12 now, Phil. It is one of those aftermarket mufflers they sell to kids
to put on their cars to make them sound loud. I have had good luck with
Sandy Lake Implement in the past and had called them just before your email
came in. They carry the Stanley oval muffler for the D-12, which is the
same one that Valu-Bilt carries. It comes black and Sandy Lake's price is
$38.14.  I ordered one from them and will give it a try and see how I like
it. I don't mind the noise as I don't hear so good any more - one of the
side effects of liking the sound of center fire handguns. grins.  I would
imagine it should be somewhat quieter than the small 3 inch muffler one
there now.
