The Honda 17235-Z4M-860 Muffler Nose is a genuine OEM replacement designed for GX160 and GX200 horizontal shaft engines. Sourced directly from Honda, this component meets the same standards as the part that left the factory, ensuring a correct fit without modification. Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks, so confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering. Whether you're restoring exhaust integrity after impact damage or replacing a worn original, this part is the right starting point.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Exhaust Fit — manufactured by Honda to match the original muffler nose geometry, so the exhaust path and exit angle are exactly as designed for GX160 and GX200 engines.
- Direct Replacement — replaces the original part number 17235-Z4M-860 with no rework required; drops into the existing muffler assembly.
- Serial Number Awareness — Honda updates part supersessions at specific serial breaks; check your engine's serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the correct nose for your unit.
- Restored Exhaust Performance — a cracked, corroded, or missing muffler nose disrupts exhaust flow, increases noise, and can direct hot gases toward the operator or surrounding equipment; replacing it restores proper exhaust routing.
The muffler nose is the forward-facing outlet section of the engine's exhaust muffler. It channels exhaust gases out of the muffler body and directs them away from the engine and operator in a controlled direction. When the nose cracks, corrodes, or breaks away — common after impact or extended heat cycling — exhaust gases escape uncontrolled, noise levels rise sharply, and hot gas can contact surrounding components or the person running the equipment. Replacing part number 17235-Z4M-860 with a genuine Honda unit restores the intended exhaust routing and keeps the engine operating as designed.
