Dislodged internal muffler baffles on a small reciprocating aircraft engine may cause?

excessive exhaust back pressure

Dislodged internal muffler baffles on a small reciprocating aircraft engine may cause excessive exhaust back pressure, which can lead to decreased performance and potential damage to the engine. Option B is incorrect because an engine overspeed problem is more likely to be caused by a malfunctioning governor or throttle control. Option C is incorrect because oil consumption would not be directly affected by muffler baffles. Option D is incorrect because decreased fuel efficiency would most likely result from other mechanical issues or poor maintenance rather than just muffler baffle displacement.
