Worth it or better to buy a new muffler?

Buy a new muffler because there is internal damage too. Mufflers are cheap with some looking. I quite enjoy welding but wouldn't bother with that scrap.

Slap the bung back in and use flexseal muffler seal

it can be welded and reinstalled, sure. no muffler shop would do that, not even the ones willing to save you a buck. also if you have emissions or inspection it might be rough going.

try a mom and pop muffler shop, try to get a take off that's in not awful condition. doesn't have to be exact or anything. you could also hit up the junkyard and cut yourself one from the source.

How much for a new muffler? And how good are you at welding? I've welded up a lot of rotted out mufflers for tractors and other equipment, because a proper muffler replacement would cost a lot. This one for my John Deere 8630 would cost me around $475 for a new one... So I just pretty much straight piped it using the perforated pipe that was inside the muffler and then put the oval shroud back on so it filled the hole in the hood and didn't look retarded.

After this I cut the top section off that had holes in it and added the original top tip and exhaust flapper. Ended up making it about 6" taller than it originally was. Really didn't sound any different with it being "straight piped" than it did before with the chambered muffler.

Appreciate the help guys, decided to buy a new one instead and already installed it. Cheers.
