That does not sound right. The standard engine is 11.4 HP. 5HP less would be a reduction of 44%. Perhaps it is .5 HP less? If the muffler is a new design and quieter it might have more baffling. I have seen the new encasement of the muffler. If under all that suitcase type cover is new baffling to the muffler itself that probably means more exhaust back pressure thus a reduction in HP not necessarily a new engine.
