That is by far one of the nicest Cub Cadets that I've ever seen!
Awesome!!!

For me it's two fold. The original muffler on the K161 shoots right out at the loader frame and leaves a little black soot. The straight pipe does away with that issue and just plain looks cool to me. And only cost me $5.00. So I guess it's a 3 fold reason. Performance, looks and cost. Oh yeah, it's sounds cool too. So 4 reasons now.

There is also very little weight with just a straight pipe. Now of course something could grab ahold of it and do some damage, but that's a risk I'm willing to make.

I agree, the stacks look really cool and they give a cub, the big tractor look

Here's the stack I made for mine. It's clamped to the muffler so I can remove it quickly if I need to.

Looks good! Sweet tractor....you have a fertilizer spreader on your sleeve hitch? nice shop by the way!

Great job, IHinIN! Your 100 looks tough.

Thanks guys. The fertilizer spreader is going to be used as a salt spreader. It's bolted to the tractor using 2 of the fender/seat mount bolts and 1 thru the hitch hole. There's pics of it in the homemade attachments thread.

IHinIN,
Nice job on the stack.

OK, where did you find your pipe for $5.00??? Or do you have access to a muffler bender? I ended up cutting apart an old small block chevy header for my stack...and it is one of the louder stacks I have heard for some reason.

I stopped at a muffler shop and he bent some tubing and sold it to me for $5.00. He put two bends in it for me too. It was a short piece in the scrap bin he had laying around. He was slow and had his Crapsman in the shop working on the Tecumsah rear end. We chatted tractor for a while. That may have helped with the price.

Oh yeah, mine's loud and throaty too. I keep it in a small 10 x 12 building and when you fire it up it echos pretty nice in there. Kind of like some custom bikes with loud pipes. The last show I was at some guys were standing around my tent and letting their boys climb around my stuff not caring what happened. I went over and fired up the Cub and pointed the exhaust right at them and revved it up and moved the tractor around a little. I think they got the idea I wasn't real happy with them.
