Creative muffler replacement for 314-8

[Peter in NH 10]

The muffler on my 314-8 is shot and I don’t want to ante-up $250 for a new one! I remember seeing some cool custom exhaust systems somewhere and am asking for photos of what you’ve done and what parts you used.

Thanks, Peter

Some use this cub cadet muffler available on amazon/ebay for around $50

A member on here Jimmy Kemp makes/sell these very nice heavy duty stacks for roughly $100-$120

That Cub muffler is really a good deal not only for the price under $50, but it is VERY adaptable and can be made to fit many (most??) of the horses with minimal effort, plus it has good "tone" 

 

Here it is adapted to a K341 on a D160

Peter if you're looking to replace the muffler that you have you can probably get a used one somewhere like A To Z Tractor in Pennsylvania.

 

It's also possible that yours may be rebuildable or repairable if you have access to a welder.

 

 

Are you looking for a stack? Underbody? Something big? Something small....

 

@OldWorkHorse and @Stepney both have recent photos of work they have done.

 

On my own Cinnamon Horse c-160 I have one of the above mentioned Jim mufflers but with a very tall outlet. Like it quite a lot.
