I decided to just let the exhaust blow straight throuh the grille since it is steel. I'll use some high temp paint on the grille. It seems a bit louder with the shortened exhaust pipe but not bad. I could cut a hole and stick the pipe out the front but I like the looks without. Is there any reason this would be a bad thing?
Boy that's a sharp looking tractor! I'm not trying to sidetrack you, but what color you going to paint it? Bet if you did the grille in silver and did red and white that would be awesome! Just a thought, looks great in yellow too!
