If this was a show rig or rarely used I'd run a couple 45's into a chrome up facing tube and be Very happy. I generally believe that diesel trucks Can't be too loud. Nothin' like an old "oil burner" ridin' a Jake brake down a looonng hill with a pair of open 8" stacks !! But.... in this case these two "rigs" of mine are used for several hours at a time on our acreage and they neeeeed to be audiologicaly friendly. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Due to how the hood covers up the top of the engine it's tough to get a brace in there to help reinforce a stack - just pointing that out..some stacks are quite heavy. Sarge Not only vibrations, but a low-hanging branch can catch the stack and break it right off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We usually clear the tractor's path well enough for me (over 6 feet) to walk down through. I AM Interested to know - Without Welding - How can I make up a good brace ?? I need one for this tractor and the B80. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronhatch 406 #34 Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Eric, I braced up a IH Cub muffler on my K181 (see my profile picture on left) by replacing the 90 degree elbow with a 1" X 1" X 1/2" tee. I put a 1/2" plug in the third opening that was in the down (6:00) position. I then drilled and taped a hole in the plug that I then used for an anchor point. from which I ran a couple of brackets made out of 1" X 3/16" flat stock to threaded holes in the engine block. You could use a regular 1" tee, but for a better look, I went with a 1" X 1" x 1/2" tee with the 1/2" in the 6:00 position. I hope this all makes sense.
