Overview
Kohler 24 068 161-S is a genuine Rehlko (formerly Kohler Engines) muffler assembly, the service replacement for the muffler on Kohler engines whose parts list calls for this number. A cracked, rusted-through or blown-out muffler makes an engine louder and can let exhaust escape near the operator, so replacing it with the factory part restores proper fit and sound. Kohler Engines is now Rehlko; the part number and the part are unchanged.
