new to jd and snowmobiling

i was thinking of straight piping this engine or finding a cheap exhaust and the once the valves are shot then look for the right engine

Not to worry, I think those valves will last a long time.

Most people I talk to say 2 strokes dont like to be straight piped because of the need for backpressure.but I think a guy could weld in some washers for some backpressure thats what my grandad did in a tractor once or twice and because its already a john deere monster it might as well look like a drunk farmer put it together the whole thing or Red Green. Here are a bunch of pictures there is the one that shows where they cut it the brace to fit in the engine http://s1117.photobucket.com/albums/k59 ... n%20deere/
