Muffler

I'm New Here
Where to buy this muffler for our RV10?
On our RV10 the internal flame catcher plate of one of the two mufflers is completely gone.
I am looking for a new muffler.
See photo ( heat shield removed)
Does somebody have more information how to get one ?
regards
Peter van den Heuvel

I remove the RV-10 heater shields for each condition inspection. 43.13-1B para 8-48 has guidance, as does AC 91-59A. Note the language about loosening/removing heat shields to permit inspecting *all* areas of the exhaust system. I also inspect inside the exhaust tail pipe as far up as I can with a borescope, looking for cracks, broken flame cone, or other damage. Larry Vetterman's site provided guidance to re-torque the exhaust flange nuts to 140-180 in lbs.
