Vertical exhaust for the CC 128

Has Kohler 12hp. Have restored and repainted. Am considering changing over to vertical exhaust pipe.
What muffler would work best? And couplings also?
What height is recommended?
 
Aftermarket muffler for AC models B and C.
Black iron pipe from the engine to the muffler.
A muffler shop could fab the extension for you.
What Lance Skene posted also.
 
I completely agree.......oldsarge. Stacks or vertical pipes might look "cool" to some people but they have several negatives.
 

This is my cheap replacement exhaust on a 126, I made the manifold and heat shield, bought the muffler from Canadian Tire....

I have stacks on all mine and not a lot of noise if you use original muffler and don't get it high enough to catch on low branches.

Well [b:b5aa4a0760][i:b5aa4a0760]SOME[/i:b5aa4a0760][/b:b5aa4a0760] stacks look cool.Lol

the OP has a Kohler K series engine which is identical to the K-12hp that was in my 126 so the very same setup I used would work on his 128.

I do have one K series with a stack on it, no muffler but I plan to make baffles for it......

Keep your IH Cub Cadet ALL IH. Use a Farmall CUB muffler. 1 inch pipe nipple and 90 degree elbow with muffler on top. Make nipple from engine long enough heat from muffler doesn't melt the decals and discolor paint on hood.
 
The further away from the engine you put that elbow the more likely it is to damage the port.... and extra support becomes more critical.

I made the hood for the Bolens so I wouldnt have to cut a hole in the original.

I drove my homemade tractor in a fireman's parade last summer with vertical muffler. To much exhaust for my lungs. Couldn't stand it 3/4 of the way thru, and I plow snow in the winter with no problem.
