I remember what those tractors sounded like when new, very different from other makes. A very distinct sound that many people have never heard. That is what I want and already have one on a C and one on a Super H that Mark's Tractors sold before he apparantly went out of business. If you want the current muffler get it from CaseIH, loud but not anything like a straight pipe. Personally I do not like straight pipes because I know what it is supposed to sound like -- it is your decision, there are no rules. By the way I lost probably half my hearing because of that sound I liked in the 50's. Also because of the equipment I have used since then. Hearing protection is the only way to go. That is what I am waiting for.

I agree with the above.

If you are wanting to get a muffler, I would not waste your money on anything other than the original-type mufflers that C&G are making. The rest of the mufflers on the market are basically straight pipes anyway. There is nothing like that sound that a C makes. It's hard to describe. You just have to put that original-type muffler on, and then you'll say "Yep, that's a C!"

I doubt you will be disappointed with getting that original-type muffler. You can always put the straight pipe on and wake up the neighbors when you want to.
