M7040SU underslung/downswept exhaust

Thanks DT86 and ovrszd.



Might see if I can either do a couple of 90's to point down, or just get a straight pipe a few inches shorter than the factory one (it's about 5" too long and I don't want to cut it.......)
I don't want to modify the "normal" exhaust since I am fine with the upright pipe most of the time. It's only in the low door for the winter, but still has to come out for use.

I don't recall my elbow being welded on. Memory says it was clamped. Anyway, removed it and used a piece of the vertical pipe to build the sweep I wanted.

I think once you convert it you will not go back to the vertical pipe. I am never smelling exhaust fumes. Only time I even know it's there is if the tractor is running and I spend more than a few seconds at the chain box which is just above where the pipe dumps.

Not sure how handy it would be to go to a muffler shop??? But I'm guessing for $20 they'd build you a sweep for low exhaust. Then you could clamp your elbow back on if you wanted vertical again.
