I run into trouble with exhaust pipes and getting into shed doors myself. For short term purposes I removed muffler and drove tractor in without it on. This worked but it was always a pain in the rear to take that hot muffler off, and finding a place for it tell it cooled off. Then I got smart and took a saw and sawed the pipe off the muffler. You could probably do this on both inlet pipe and outlet pipe of muffler. I got by just doing it on outlet pipe. All you really need on there is enough pipe to get on manifold and enough to possibly clamp a rain cap on. This might allow you to have upright exhaust and get into the shed. Just a couple things to think about. The underneath exhaust can more easily start fires, cuase burns if put in the right place, may get in the way, or be damaged if you run over something with tractor. However, I got another tractor that doesn't have the proper heigth of exhaust (it is about face high on operator) and you breath alot of exhaust fumes if you run it all day. I seen a guy one time that was not to proud of his shed and he cut a hole in top of door way for exhaust pipe to go through. Also seen a guy another time dig down in the dirt floor of his shed to lower tractor down as it went through doorway so exhaust could get under the doorway.
