Description
Overview:
This Genuine Stihl muffler (MPN: 1140 140 0656) is the original exhaust assembly for Stihl MS311 and MS391 petrol chainsaws. Built from tough pressed steel with a heat-resistant black coating, it is designed to reduce exhaust noise and route hot gases safely away from the user and the machine. The internal flow path maintains the correct back pressure for reliable running, helping the saw start and pull cleanly under load. As an OEM part, it matches the original fit and finish, aligning perfectly with the cylinder and front cover. Use it to replace a damaged, corroded, or excessively noisy exhaust and to restore the chainsaw's intended performance and sound levels with the durability expected from a Genuine Stihl component.
