The Honda 17235-ZE1-860 Muffler Nose is a genuine OEM Muffler Nose designed for GX160 and GX200 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM component, this part is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a proper fit and correct exhaust outlet geometry. Verify your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks and coverage can vary across production runs.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this Muffler Nose matches the original part exactly, preserving correct exhaust flow and outlet profile for GX160 and GX200 engines.
- Direct OEM Replacement — engineered to install in place of the original component with no modification, restoring the exhaust assembly to its intended configuration.
- Exhaust Integrity — a damaged or missing muffler nose disrupts exhaust flow and exposes the muffler body to accelerated wear; replacing it promptly keeps the exhaust system functioning as designed.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates parts at production serial breaks, so confirm your engine's serial number against the compatibility table to ensure this is the correct nose for your unit.
The muffler nose is the forward-facing outlet section of the muffler assembly on Honda horizontal shaft engines. It directs exhaust gases away from the engine and the operator, while also contributing to noise attenuation as gases exit the system. When the muffler nose is cracked, corroded, or missing, exhaust can escape in unintended directions, increase noise output, and leave the muffler body exposed to further damage — making timely replacement an important part of keeping the engine and its exhaust system in proper working order.
