The item serves it's purpose, but it is overpriced for what you get. The muffler itself bolts on to the exhaust port just fine and it lines up as it should within the lawn mower's frame, however the support hanger tabs are welded in the wrong spot, and the left (from driver's seat) tab isn't even the correct part. I had to cut the welds and remove the left bracket from the old muffler and weld them on in the correct positions. This could be a major problem for someone who isn't skilled in fabrication. When you pay over $100 for an exact replacement part you don't expect to have to do this.
