Question: I need the front portion of the Muffler only. All the rest of the muffler is fine... I just need the front portion. The 3 view diagram and parts list show the muffler itself and the rear portion but do not show the front portion. Is the front portion available as a part?

Answer: Yes it is part #VXR-464020F

Better Answer: Yes it is available as part #VXR-464020F. This does not include the muffler bolts, the long "hold it together" bolt, fuel nipple or muffler to manifold gasket or the muffler extension. These parts from the original muffler can all be transferred over to a new front portion.
