Sounds like the voice of wisdom DetroitTom thank you for that input. It makes sense after you put it that way. The exhaust stack points straight up in the sky on my tractor. So you get to see it like a big chimney and smell it. Maybe reroute it down and towards the front of the tractor. The air filter is under the engine shroud by the Instrument cluster. As far as sound proofing the engine compartment I would leave it alone on my tractor just to avoid material for mice and squirrels to use for nesting. And trapping heat under there.
Would the cast iron exhaust manifolds be quieter than steel ones like the ones used on gas engines?
