Komatsu FG20ST/FG25ST/FG30ST Muffler Replacement Guide — Part 3EB-03-A2161

A rusted-through or rattling muffler on a Komatsu forklift isn't just a noise problem — it can throw off backpressure and hurt engine performance. Part 3EB-03-A2161 is the direct-fit replacement for several common Komatsu models.

Signs your muffler needs replacing

  • Noticeably louder exhaust note or rattling
  • Visible rust or holes in the muffler body
  • Loss of power that a tune-up doesn't resolve
  • Failed emissions or noise inspection at your facility

Compatibility

This muffler fits Komatsu FG20ST-11, FG25ST-11, FG30ST-11, and FG20S-11 models with H20 engine fitment (also compatible with some Allis-Chalmers forklifts sharing this engine). Confirm your model number on the data plate before ordering.

What's included

A complete direct-fit muffler assembly, sized and shaped to bolt into the stock exhaust routing without modification.

Installation overview

Let the exhaust system cool fully before starting. Spray penetrating oil on the mounting bolts ahead of time — they're often heavily corroded on older lifts. Support the muffler while removing the last bolt so it doesn't drop, then install the new unit in the reverse order and check for exhaust leaks at the joints once the engine's running.
