I was on my 4th 230 before I heard one WITH an exhaust system. Well, I guess they all had an exhaust system in the sense of a pipe to blow the majority of of the fumes several feet away from the driver, but it wasn't until I got the ambulance that I actually put a muffler on one. Compared to an overhead valve engine, a flathead without a muffler is bearable, if not quiet. I used to have a flathead Ford V8 that had run a sawmill, and I wish I'd at least fired it up before I sold it. It didn't have any muffler either.
