Dirtbike mufflers work, or just run a few tractor mufflers. I know for shits and giggles one day I stuck a moped muffler on my Kohler with the Johler muffler still on, was very very quiet. You would want more airflow though.

Good exhaust idea, lol like that. Dirtbike exhaust. better than a crappy screw in stock exhaust. My lawnmower has straight pipes. My neighbors don't care cause we own racecars and rev them up every night. With open headers of course

I really need to shut mine up, It's 100db at 3400rpm...Way too loud.
I want to make my own silencer for my tractor, My aim is 65db.

you could weld a car muffler on it or you can pipe it out and weld a pushmower pancake muffler on it

Could always make your own muffler with baffles. I saw about doing it myself. Lots of stuff on Google on how to do it.

Sometime in the future I'm going to put a glasspack on my guinea pig tractor and make an igniter system out of a nitrous fogger I have laying around.

LOL. I'd love to see someone do that with their mower. I want to put a little something on my exhaust when I get round to making it, not a flame thrower but something just as useful Razz

Flame throwers would look cool on a lawn tractor.
