Business owners often take them off or exchange for a loud one as they think removal saves gas and they may be right. Some mufflers can be very quiet. It's like teenage boys with loud mufflers on their cars only worse.

Small engine-based tools are a surprisingly large source of carbon emissions and air pollution. According to the California Air Resources Board, just one hour of gas leaf blower use is the equivalent of driving 1,100 miles.
