Good looking solution.

Let me add another thing since I have done similar conversions and was often stumped for the right size pipe. I found that hot rod mandrel bent pipes sold at rod shops such as at Summit racing usually fit my odd size and thickness tractor exhaust and muffler diameters. Saved me a lot of problems and fits surprisingly well.

I will keep that in mind. I'm looking at Karbelt, first. Pereformance Improvements have shut down their website.

If you don't have a shed for your tractor, it would be a good idea to angle to end of the exhaust or fit a rain cap, as rain getting into the exhaust can rundown the pipe into the head, and then rust the valve seat.

The tractor has been 'shedded' since the day I took delivery. I am going with a 45°slash anyway. Rain can run down the pipe, but it wont get into the exhaust manifold/head due to the fact that the stack is not attached to the exhaust pipe. Water will run down both the inside and outside of the stack and fall harmlessly onto the ground.

Forgot you were in Canada. The bends I used I were the mandrel bends for headers. For whatever reason, the ID and OD needed on my Kubota examples were perfect.

I buy from Summit Racing, too.
I have a buddy with a tubing bender, he bought it to bend the tubing for his roll cage. Trouble is, he is 6 hours north of me one way.

Here is another reason for the stack.

Did the heat cook your air filter?

I worked on an irrigation motor years ago. It was a small diesel lift pump for flood irrigation. They didn't have the exhaust led very far away from the pump house and the wind swirling the exhaust lead it back inside the pump house. The filter was so plugged the motor wouldn't run any more. Your filter looks pretty pristine compared to the one we pulled off of that little diesel motor.
