What does the factory exhaust pipe--that little piece that runs forward from the muller---look like? Is it mild steel or chrome?
The one that came off the tractor was rusted beyond being reused. I don't mind paying the dealer price if that pipe is chrome or SS, but it seems a bit5 high if it is merely mild steel.
I can't find anything of a similar size in my local auto parts stores. I need 1 5/8" ID to fit over the stub of the muffler and auto parts stores don't have anything that small>
What do you guys use? Or just leave it off?

I'm pretty sure mine was chromed mild steel, but I got tired of breathing fumes and the soot on the FEL, so I flipped the muffler veritcal. From an earlier post:
The exhaust stack was pretty simple- went to local muffler shop, picked out a 5' piece of 1 1/2" tube, (I think, maybe 1 3/8" ?) had them bend it almost 180 degrees, (u-shape) leaving one leg about 3' long. They charged me $20. When I got home, I picked a height, (29" I think) cut the long leg to length, cut curved part to vent exhaust down & away. (and keep rain out) The end that attaches to the muffler outlet needed to be flared (expanded) slightly to fit, but I had the tool. You could probably take the muffler in with you & have them flare it to fit. Then I added a 2nd brace above the stock one as shown in the pic. I think it was 1/8" X 5/8" steel strap. A little flat black hi-temp exhaust paint & you're done.

The one on my L2501 appears to be steel painted a kind of dark gray. You could try a local muffler shop for a piece of the correct diameter. They can probably also provide any curve or routing you want.

Google B7100 muffler, lots of results...


You can also look on Rock Auto, but they list OD, not ID...
