Now I have a piece of thick steel pipe coming out of the manifold, then the muffler is clamped to that, is that original? If not what should I do. I just don"t want to put on a new paint job and have it all bubble off.

What you have is the stock schedule 40 Black iron pipe that is pure stock. depending on the quality of the paint, and your desire to have that paint perfect near the hole, either leave it alone. Modest discoloration at the hole and usually with cured paint, no bubbling. If you want to keep it from making the paint discolor, and don't care that the device is not dead stock, use the SS tube I described earlier to eliminate that chance. JimN

If your pipe out of the manifold is the correct length you probly wont have any problems

Also make sure the connection between the muffleer and the manifold nipple is absolutely gas tight! The smallest gap or pinhole leak can cause extremely hot exhaust gases to impinge on the hood sheetmetal and quickly burn away the paint. And even if it doesn't burn the paint it will permanently stain it black.

I've found buttering the manifold nipple with a thin layer of furnace cement before installing/clamping the muffler provides nice seal. After clamping the muffler run the engine at slow idle for a few minutes to dry and fuse the cement before putting it under heavy load.

Sure
Take a piece of thin wall stainless steel tubing (2.5 to 2.75 OD) and about 5" long. Pre drill holes in each end about 1/4" from the end for SS blunt point self tapping screws. Slide this on over the exhaust pipe, tighten the screws till it doesn't rattle, then put on the hood and muffler. JimN

Don't like the "working tractor look", eh?
