Generator Muffler

[Jack & Donna Smith]

I need some ideas on a muffler for my Onan. I have a 5.5 gas Onan
that needs a new muffler. I contacted a muffler shop, and the guy
said he could fit one, and probably nay muffler with the right size
pipes would work. I want something that is quiet, and wonder if,
indeed, anything from a small car would work?
