If I add another muffler to a generator, will that have any adverse effect on the motor; as in too much back pressure? I have a generator that I would like to make a bit less loud. My thought is to add a Honda generator muffler (or similar) after my existing muffler? Thoughts, other ideas?

I would be afraid of too much bac pressure. Maybe just try to adapt the Honda muffler by itself? A simple three sided wood structure that has the open side point away from where you are, with some sort of lid on it, will help out a lot also.
Good luck with it!

Thanks Dan, the generator is in an RV so my space limited.
