MF GC2310 Muffler or alternative

I have searched high and low but cant find the bolt on muffler part 4264888M93. I have welded it numerous times and either want to find the oem muffler, or a solution to cobble something together routing the muffler under the tractor. Anyone done this yet, if so pictures and information would be appreciated. Thanks!

The only muffler mod I've seen

Picked up a GC2300 fixer-upper. :D :D

repaired the missing exhaust pipe and converted to the more reliable side exit. the small stump that was remaining also had a crack in line the one of the welded brackets. They really buggered up the muffler design on the first-generation GC2300s. I cut off all the original supports and...

Thanks DMW for the reply, I need to replace the entire muffler from the manifold on, any recommendations on the best approach for this?

My thoughts are to take the muffler off and take it to a custom muffler shop see what they can do.

Yumex hasn't been around since 2010. Manufacturer of GC2300/2400 mufflers. Bought by automotive parts supplier Hirotec, as they produced exhausts for Mazda. Pipes breaking is very common (welded mine twice), seriously doubt if there are any left. You might get lucky at a dealer with NOS, probably in the $600+ range. Custom may be the only route. Routing underneath seem futile to me, better to go side. Going to a removable vertical stack (old school) with the resonator on the outside of the hood may also be doable. The hood is metal unlike the current plastic models.
