Curious how much I could quiet down a Craftsman LT4000 lawn tractor exhaust.
It has a 13.5 hp Briggs & Stratton engine.
I know that the mechanical noises will remain, but any quieting down will be a plus for riding through a neighborhood park.
I"d prefer to keep the parts limited to what I could find at the local junkyard or otherwise "on the cheap"
Ideas/Questions:
- Can I use an automotive style muffler? (Obviously, I"ll have to get creative about adaptors/mounting)
- Would it be worth it?
- Maybe a motorcycle or ATV muffler?
- How concernced should I be about back pressure?
- Should I try and raise the exhaust outlet over my head...i.e. vertical stack?
