I had read on old achives about the exhaust is "tuned" to the engine to help it scavange exhaust out of the engine. Not sure if it is true or not. I have noticed when the alum burns off a new muffler there is a pattern to the burn mark which might indicate that is the case. Anybody else remember those posts from a few years ago? I will say for sure if you cut off the pipe, be prepared to get gassed! If you head into the wind that exhaust will blow right back at you at face level and you will have a want for fresh air.

I use soup cans! All my tractors get a new can every Christmas!
