ScottyBones 5 #1 Posted August 25, 2017 So I just picked up a 78 c121 auto in great shape. Only problem is the previous owner cut a huge hole in the hood for a new muffler when the stock one rotted out. I plan on finding a new hood for it and want to redo the exhaust. I like the idea of a stack but don't want it stinking way up in the air. I also don't want to straight pipe it shorter because I live somewhat in town and I don't think the neighbors would be to happy with the noise. But I found another user that used 2 small engine 3/4 inch mufflers. I really like the idea but im just worried that down sizing the pipe to from 1 inch to 3/4 would be to much back pressure. Anyone have any thoughts? I will upload picture of my tractor and idea I have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 56,164 #2 Posted August 25, 2017 There would actually be less back-pressure with two 3/4" mufflers than one 1" of the same design. The area of a 3/4" circle is 0.44 sq in. times two is 0.88 Sq in. The area of a 1" circle is 0.79 sq in. I know that the I.D. of pipe is not 3/4" and 1", but the same ratio should apply. The "T" and two 90s will have a little added back pressure so it will be about the same. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,909 #4 Posted August 25, 2017 All though taller, a muffler for a Farmall Cub works well as a stack. They can usually be found at a reasonable price. https://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/stanley-vertical-tractor-muffler-ih-1/0000000026992?Ntt=Mufflers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScottyBones 5 #5 Posted August 31, 2017 Sorry for the late reply but thanks for the help. I picked up all the peices I needed and put it together over the weekend. Including a bracket to help support the extra weight. I will soon be getting some header wrap for it. Here are some picks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
