B7800 with exhaust stack, and muffler removed

Nice, but.....I have to remove my bucket every fall to install my front-mount snowblower. No way to back out under that crossbar that I can see if you ever needed/wanted to remove the bucket. Wish I could do work like that....Regards, Mike

No problem, you could do the same thing only run the up pipe behind the crossbar... I am in the process of modifying it now to take care of a couple issues. Watch for a couple updates...

I modified the new exhaust to take care of a few problems like vibration that could possibly crack the manifold and the loud sound... Took my original mods to a muffler shop I had used in the past and he came up with a flexible connector and he had a used muffler off of a Harley, he modified every thing and I made new bracing for it and added a rain cap, I think it looks great and sounds good now. Very happy with it... I guess I will have to change the RTV over next...

Nice job! I was happy to see the rain cap. Hydro lock= bad.

I grew up in mid-Michigan on a farm in the 50's and 60's. You could always tell the farmers that had Farmall M's...they were the ones with hearing aids in both ears.

Looks good! Cant beat the old school tapety tap sound of a rain cap at idle.

How does that motorcycle muffler sound? I had an IH Cub muffler on mine for a while and it was too loud, then I found an oval muffler that fit 97 Civic and sounds much quieter. Good idea on the flex joint, looks just like the one I got, just haven't installed it yet.

Oh yea, we need to know about that breather too, have you done a thread on that?

Yes, have done thread on breather, I posted it a couple of days b4 this one, the Harley muffler sounds great, but not as good as the old J.D. one lungers, (pop-pop) and not as good as my Harley sounded when I had one (sure miss it). I have noticed a little more power and it is not using as much fuel..... Don't know what it will do in the 1/4 mile, maybe 17 mph!!!! :laughing:
