I have a 18HP B&S engine that was part of an old Craftsman riding mower. I'm using it on a log splitter now.
My question is, can I extend the exhaust pipe or muffler to make it more quiet and to get it farther away from the operator without doing damage to the engine? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Some ideas I was kicking around include converting it to a bigger pipe size and using a tractor type muffler, pointing it up in the air like a tractor to divert the sound, and just using a long pipe to route the exhaust out the back of the machine with or without a muffler.
Thoughts?????
