I asked this question before, but I think it got lost in the another 
discussion.

I have a very good generator for back up power.  The problem is that it is 
pretty loud.

Can I remove the exhaust it came with, and mod up a nice exhaust into a 
small (or large) car muffler?  Since this is only a 12HP B&S motor, we 
aren't talking tuned engines, so I'm guessing back pressure isn't 
critical.

Any ideas?  What would you do if you needed to quiet this system.

Note, I don't need the portability of the unit, so if I had a BHE (Big 
Honking Exhaust) sticking out of the cage, that is fine.

Thanks!
