formariz 11,861 #1 Posted March 25, 2017 So being unhappy all of these years with replacement mufflers for the Electro and not wanting a tall stack I finally decided to adapt the Jay Bee muffler to it. A little improvised plumbing and although unusual and probably not for everyone, after using it for a while I am really happy with it. Incredibly I now can hear just engine noise from front even realizing that my PTO has a ringing noise which I never noticed before. From tailpipe, just a nice burbling exhaust note right under tractor. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,231 #4 Posted March 25, 2017 I like it Cas...did you have to do anything to the muffler itself. (fabrication)??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,510 #5 Posted March 25, 2017 Pretty neat... That would easy for a good muffler shop to bend up and duplicate if you wanted ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That elbow on the intake makes it really very adjustable and versatile. 15 minutes ago, ACman said: Pretty neat... That would easy for a good muffler shop to bend up and duplicate if you wanted ! I was going to go with hard connections at first but for $20.00 decided to buy the flexible pipe, a 6 foot section so this way I could experiment with various setups. It worked out really well also since ID of pipe is 1-1/2" fitting perfectly over muffler pipe, and then the original chrome tail piece that came with tractor muffler when I got it is 1-1/2" OD and fits perfectly at other end. No clamps needed. Routed this way it does not interfere with anything or any attachments. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
