multihobbyguy 35 #1 Posted April 15, 2012 I am working on my C 160 and I am getting ready to replace the exhaust. My question is should it have a reducer screwed into the block? Here is a picture of the exhaust. I am not sure if someone did this or if the factory did this. The reducer seems wrong in my mind but I really have no idea. Thanks, Chris.

multihobbyguy 35 #7 Posted April 16, 2012 Thank you for the answers. Thanks for the comments. No, stack for me. I was trying to find a factory exhaust but it says NLA on all the websites that I have checked so I am not sure what I will do now. The muffler that is on there looks great but sounds like there is nothing left inside when I throttle up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bo dawg 518 #9 Posted April 16, 2012 yeah all mine has the reducer too. The mufflers are still going to be sort of loud on those single cylinders, thats why a lot of guy's try the bigger stacks to quite them down. But to me their still loud also. The only way to get a better quiter sound is with a twin cylinder engine for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
multihobbyguy 35 #10 Posted April 16, 2012 I looked at the muffler on parts tree. I would have to order part 10-49 in addition to the muffler for a total of $207. I then noticed that it gave a another number that replaces the original item. So I looked up my original and it had a replacement but it runs $202. That it a little much for me. If I were to ever do a total restore I might purchase one. I think for now I will do a round 3 inch out the side. Then I may cut the one that is on there in half and see if I can re-baffle it. The outside is really nice with no holes so I think I cold re-weld it after I cut it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackC 617 #11 Posted April 27, 2012 The exhaust on my C-160 is loud. The baffles inside the original muffler were making a banging sound so I bought a used muffler to replace it. If you are able to fab something, maybe you could get a quiet muffler and put it inside the original casing? A quiet C-160 with something that looks like the original muffler would be a great accomplishment. Jack's sells quiet mufflers. I have not really looked into them. http://www.jackssmal...tmuf_index.html Possibly the side mufflers on some of the newer tractors would be quieter. Here is a C-160 with a side mounted muffler.

multihobbyguy 35 #12 Posted April 29, 2012 This is the route I went for the time being. It is much quieter and sounds better now. I saved the old muffler in case I ever decide to cut it open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
