Keaton 437 #1 Posted November 12 I have my little springfeild with a Briggs and Stratton and the exhaust is supposed to go down into the frame but I don't want the underside of my tractor possibally catch fire, so I took the exhaust out the front with a muffler, I wanted to wrap it in something, would exhaust wrap work, I saw it said its to improve performance, I just need it do I don't fry my leg would an exhaust heat wrap work? there is a picture below, I took the muffler off and put a 90, then a piece of pipe and muffler.

SylvanLakeWH 25,618 #2 Posted November 12 Can you use exhaust wrap yes. Would it prevent burning leg probably not.... that foot rest puts your leg right on top the muffler... I'm thinking a shield is needed... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keaton 437 #3 Posted November 13 @SylvanLakeWH the exhaust is no longer like that I don't have a current picture but I made a little drawing it is about in inch and a half from the hood by the muffler, if I were to hit it with my leg when driving I would not like to burn myself or burn the paint on the hood, i will attach a picture of the front of the tractor, i since got a hotdog style muffler from menards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,945 #5 Posted November 13 Header wrap does hold heat in. Will it improve performance? Not from the butt dyno on your tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keaton 437 #6 Posted November 13 I could care less about performance I just don't want to hit my leg by accident and get a big burn id rather get a smaller burn at least. or, none at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
