Added new exhaust/muffler

Recommended Posts

Jersilb

Decided to add a traditional tractor exhaust/muffler tonight. I think it turned out pretty good. Used a Ford Muffler and reduced it to a 1" pipe, welded the 1" pipe to a new exhaust port flange. Amazingly, it is a lot quieter now. Did not expect that.

 

Next, I might add some little headlights on each side of the hood. Probably need a little coil to run them. Well see what I can find on eBay.

:woohoo:               Looks good. I think you may want to consider adding a brace that would go down to the frame from just below the muffler, lot of vibrating weight on those two studs coming out of the aluminum casting.

      Gentlemen,
       
      I just changed the muffler on my ‘69 Charger 12.
       
      There are quite a few Gravely 18543 aftermarket mufflers out there so I decided to purchase 2; 1 from Amazon for $45 and 1 from NAPA (7-03679) for $72. Both are made in Taiwan and while the Amazon muffler actually felt a tad heavier to me, its welded construction was poorer so I decided to use the NAPA muffler.
       
      To complete the installation, I needed a 1.25” x 4” black pipe nipple and a 5/16” x 1-1/4” exhaust clamp (NAPA 733-5323).
       
      In conclusion, it seems to me the sound out of the Gravely style muffler is noticeably quieter than the classic pepper pot. Worth the $80 to me!

      I have a 522xi and noticed the muffler is glowing red as shown in this video? Should I be concerned and fix it to normal operating temps or is this expected?
       
      Thanks,
      JMack

      Finally got the stack installed, getting that threaded pipe out of the head needed a little persuasion but all went well, and it looks fantastic thanks to Jim Kemp!
