This is the first set up of the exhaust outlet

 

Muffler is mounted under the cabin, it is an auger style so has a 12 mm pipe straight through the middle and a metal auger around the pipe, at low revs is sounds like an old hot dog muffler, and at higher revs it gets quiet.

 

Pipe is all 2 inch mandrel bent, this is how it comes up over the chassis rail
