yea, i'd seen yours earlier and i thought it was riveted on, but i didn't go back and look at it. i had to cut off part of the tip of the original exhaust since the one inch piece i had was short.
i think it'll work fine, i turned straight out to the side. the original was pointed down and to the front and when i mulch leaves, it would blow them back to where i'd already been.
thank you for the idea since the piece from the bx22 is $40 some dollars.
