Just a couple of questions. What are you using the tractor for? Will clearance be and issue? Would a horizontal exhaust be a problem (like with baling hay and raking where it could cause a fire)? I would be very careful about putting on another muffler. That is just going to be more back pressure and sometimes it can do some weird things and raise EGTs (exhaust gas temperatures). If it were mine, I would first, if it hasn't already been done, turn the opening away from the operator. If that has already been done or is not enough, try a taller pipe pointed away (unless tree clearance is an issue). If it is like my TN65, the pipe just clamps on at the side of the hood. The other option would be to get a horizontal exhaust kit from the dealer (or it could be easily made at a local muffler shop if it's designed like our TN65). Again, be aware that if you are working in dry grass, this may be a fire hazard. A spark arrestor would be a very good idea here if there's not one already built into the muffler. Otherwise, I can't think of anything else other than use ear plugs. Those 3 bangers that NH uses are pretty noisy engines.
