I think if if was me, I would put a 90 degree elbow in the pipe just below the level of the hood, facing forward. Lay the muffler facing forward, and then install another 90 on the outlet to direct the exhaust out to the left. That should solve the clearance problem, will probably keep most of the exhaust out of your face, and will save the exhaust system and manifold from the destruction it will most likely endure if you install it under the tractor. Any machine that is operating in the woods needs to have as clean a bottom as possible, as there is always slash that gets forced up into the tractor when you drive over it, or even a stump that could tear the whole system off. I would not go with an underslung exhaust. If you do face the exhaust forward, be sure to brace the top of the muffler so that it isn't placing undue stress on the manifold. Good luck.
