Vetical Exhaust Install

[radman1]

Thanks for everyone's input. My reasons for wanting the kit are to get the exhaust out of my face and maybe to quiet the tractor down a bit. Also I think it makes it look more like a "tractor" in a traditional sense. Can someone tell me the height of the installed exhaust? My tractor is stored in my garage and I have to fold my ROPS to put it away. I'm not sure if I want to fold the ROPS AND take off the exhaust pipe everytime I use it.

I wouldn't expect the vertical exhaust to help much with the the noise factor.

Chris,on my 3520 top piece of the exhaust pipe itself is 29 inches. When on the tractor it is 27-1/2 inches above the hood. Ground to top of exhaust when installed is 76 inches.I have the smaller R-4's. Your tire size and type will make some difference. Hope that helps. I know what your saying about forgeting to take it off before pulling into the garage.

The top piece simply sits down over the bottom piece. The bottom piece is tapered and has a indexing tab on it. The top piece has four slots at 90 degrees that go down over the tab. These slots give the four positions the top pipe can be directed to. Straight forward, left, right or straight back. Since it sits on this cone shape bottom pipe it does not need clamps. It just lifts off when you want to open the hood. And you just drop it back on the cone after you close the hood.

GreenMtns,

So the vertical exhaust is basically a 2 piece affair?
Does the top part stay with the hood and open with it, or do you just yank the muffler out before opening?
How good is the sealing betwen the halves?

I wanted to do this on my 3520 but shy'd away thinking it interfered with the hood operation. If it's split and seals well, I think I'll go for it as I agree that it just looks more "Tractor" with the vertical exhaust.

Yes

The top part just lifts off and then you open the hood.

How good is the sealing between the halves?

Seems to be a very good fit. I have never smelled and exhaust fumes.

If it's split and seals well, I think I'll go for it as I agree that it just looks more "Tractor" with the vertical exhaust.

It does seal well and does not shake when it's on because the lower piece is a cone shape which keeps the top firmly in place. And I too like the "tractor" look.
