The Wacker Neuson Muffler is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 7060 and DPU 7060RC reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this muffler matches the original part exactly — ensuring a correct, hassle-free installation without guesswork. It is confirmed to fit both the standard DPU 7060 (70 kN, 60 cm/24 in) and the DPU 7060RC remote-controlled variant. Replacing a damaged or deteriorated muffler with a genuine OEM part keeps your compactor running at the right exhaust back-pressure and noise level for continued safe, productive operation.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Exhaust Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original specification, maintaining correct exhaust flow and back-pressure for the DPU 7060 diesel engine.
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement — Matches the original mounting points and outlet configuration of the DPU 7060 series, so installation follows the same procedure as the factory unit.
- Confirmed DPU 7060 and DPU 7060RC Fitment — Covers both the standard 70 kN plate and the remote-controlled RC variant, making this the correct choice across the DPU 7060 family.
- Sustained Engine Performance — A properly functioning muffler maintains the exhaust back-pressure the diesel engine is tuned for; a cracked or failed muffler can affect engine efficiency and power output.
- Noise and Emission Compliance — As a genuine OEM exhaust component, this muffler preserves the sound attenuation and exhaust characteristics the machine was certified with, supporting compliance on regulated worksites.
The muffler is a critical part of the engine's exhaust system, responsible for directing combustion gases away from the engine while dampening the noise produced during the power cycle. On diesel-powered plate compactors like the DPU 7060, it also plays a role in maintaining the back-pressure level that the engine relies on for efficient combustion. When a muffler cracks, corrodes, or develops a leak, exhaust gases can escape in unintended directions, engine performance can deteriorate, and noise levels rise — all signs that replacement is overdue.
