The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM 5.65 Od X 18 L Muffler designed for LTW20Z series light towers and RD27 series tandem rollers. As a direct OEM replacement, part is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component, ensuring a correct installation with no guesswork on fitment. Compatibility spans the full LTW20Z family — including LTW20Z1, LTW20Z3, and their cold-weather and vertical-mast variants — as well as RD27-100 and RD27-120 hydrostatic vibratory rollers. If your machine is running loud, producing excess exhaust heat, or showing signs of muffler corrosion or damage, this is the part to order.
Key Features
- Correct Exhaust Geometry: — Sized at 5.65 OD x 18 L to match the original exhaust outlet configuration on Isuzu-powered LTW20Z and RD27 machines — no adapters or rework needed.
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Built to Wacker Neuson's original material and wall-thickness standards, providing the heat resistance and durability expected from the factory exhaust system.
- Broad LTW20Z Coverage: — Fits LTW20Z1 and LTW20Z3 light towers across standard, cold-weather, skidded, custom, and vertical-mast (V and V S) configurations, including Tier 4i-compliant models.
- RD27 Tandem Roller Fitment: — Also confirmed for RD27-100 and RD27-120 hydrostatic vibratory rollers, making this a shared-platform exhaust component across two major Wacker Neuson product families.
- Noise and Heat Control: — A properly functioning muffler keeps exhaust noise within acceptable site limits and directs combustion gases safely away from the operator and surrounding equipment. A cracked or failing muffler raises both noise levels and exhaust temperatures.
- Operator Safety: — A compromised muffler can direct hot exhaust gases toward fuel lines, hydraulic hoses, and operators. Replacing a damaged muffler with the correct OEM part restores safe exhaust routing on the machine.
The muffler is a core component of the engine's exhaust system, responsible for dampening combustion noise and channeling hot exhaust gases safely away from the engine bay and operator position. On light towers and ride-on rollers, where engines run for extended periods in close proximity to operators and other equipment, a correctly functioning muffler is essential for both noise management and safe heat dispersal. When a muffler cracks, corrodes, or loses its internal baffling, exhaust noise increases significantly, heat is directed unpredictably, and the machine may fail emissions or noise compliance checks on regulated job sites.
