a muffler like newer STs?

No,I don't think so. I have never seen a muffler for this engine. It
looks like it originally came with an exhaust baffle but also has holes
for a bolt on muffler. The center of the exhaust port is tapped for a
bolt for the baffle but the throttle linkage doesn't look like it could
connect to a baffle. Maybe later productions did not come with a baffle.

There was a Super Tigre muffler made for this engine, but it was a
separately purchased accessory; it did not come with the engine. That is why
they are difficult to find. It was a venturi type muffler and was more of an
exhaust deflector than it was a muffler. Most guys flying pattern back then
used third party mufflers for these engines.

Keep on searching, Charles!

I bought a couple of really neat little NIB vintage Super Tigres without
mufflers and had a heck of a time finding them. As long as you're not in a
hurry, you'll track one down, eventually.

Good flying,

A header was available as a separate item, as was a tuned pipe. Recently
gave both away as the ST "Blue Head" engine was installed with an in-cowl
muffler in an old Cass Engineering "Steen Skybolt"
