Default Runs great but sounds like wheat combine

My G9 runs great but is loud and sounds like an old tractor or combine. Think it could be as simple as a muffler?

I had a real bad "growl" in my G16. Turned out to be the rear clutch. FWIW

I agree the rear clutches in the Yamaha's do get very noisy when the rear clutches are getting bad.
