Default Exhaust options

Hello again. I was wondering if I wanted to quiet down my 127 is their any options for a quiet exhaust? I have a brand new stock muffler on it and it's still as you all know loud. I am looking for options.

You might be stuck with the stock muffler. You can still get stock mufflers from a dealer, but they are pricey, $75+ IIRC. They also sell the sound dampening mufflers(wrong name, can't remember the right one, CRS), which are supposed to lower the sound, but these are probably over $100 from the dealer. Some of the sponsors might have what ya need. I run stock mufflers, and mine aren't too loud. My Zero turn is loud. I've resorted to wearing ear protection .

Darkminion's WH has a neat system. You'd have to be careful how you ran the exhaust. Could get close to grass clippings and a deck and might cause some smoke :biggrin2.gif:.

I know this isn't what you probably would want to do, but I started wearing ear plugs years ago. Works so good and no headache when done mowing.

I always use earplugs, too, unless I'm just moving the tractor from one spot to another. I bet few if any machines, even the modern ones, are quiet enough to be operated without hearing damage if no ear protection is used. Earplugs are also much cheaper than a special exhaust system, hearing aid, etc.

I wear worktunes or just normal earmuffs with my ipod ear buds under them when I mow. Otherwise for snow removal, plowdays or just playing I don't use ear protection

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
