    Replacement parts prices?

    I need to replace an underhood muffler on a 100 horse ag tractor. JD Dealer price is $320. I've never had to buy one before for a large turbo tractor - any suggestions as far as price? Can you just weld up any muffler that will fit or is there a problem with (unknown) backpressure?
