The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Exhaust Muffler designed for the BH 22 and BH 23 series gasoline breakers. As a direct OEM replacement, this muffler is sourced from Wacker Neuson and built to the exact specifications of the original component. It fits multiple BH 22 and BH 23 configurations, including standard, RS, SCH, EE, and Loxam variants across a range of tool holder sizes. Verify your model number against the fitment list before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Exhaust Routing: — Manufactured to the original flow and back-pressure specifications, ensuring combustion gases are expelled correctly without disrupting engine performance.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Mounts to the original exhaust port using factory attachment points, requiring no modification to the breaker housing or engine assembly.
- Broad BH Series Fitment: — Compatible with BH 22 and BH 23 gasoline breakers across multiple tool holder configurations, including 27x80, 25x108, 28x152, and 28x160 variants.
- Sustained Engine Health: — A correctly functioning exhaust muffler maintains proper engine back-pressure; a cracked or blocked muffler can cause overheating, power loss, and accelerated engine wear.
- Noise and Emissions Compliance: — Replacing a damaged muffler restores the breaker's designed exhaust noise attenuation and emissions profile, keeping operation within expected levels on regulated worksites.
The exhaust muffler channels combustion gases away from the engine and reduces the noise produced during the exhaust stroke. On a gasoline-powered breaker like the BH 22 and BH 23, the muffler also plays a role in maintaining the correct level of back-pressure in the exhaust system, which directly affects engine efficiency and power output. When a muffler cracks, corrodes, or becomes blocked with carbon buildup, the engine can run rough, overheat, or lose significant striking force — making timely replacement critical to keeping the breaker performing at full capacity.
