15 HP OHV Kohler Command engine.
Model # CV15S

someone please help, the shroud says " Confirms to emissions something or other 1995-1998"
 does that mean it is a 1998?

The first two digits of the serial (25) is 1995. Doesn't matter much except some early engines had adjustable rockers. Later ones are fixed fulcrum style like Cleaveland Fords. There is alot of power potential in that engine for its displacement.

What are your intentions for this mower? Do you plan on building a racer?

it will be a racer after i adapt a tranny and my axle.
Thats good to heat about the engine, currently i am running
32-35" of 2 1/2" exhaust, do you guys think thats enough?
i plan on running it under the right hand side floor board.

That is plenty if not more exhaust pipe than you need.

That engine will make best power with a fairly small primary section of pipe. I would go no bigger than 1 1/8" for the first foot or so.

Yeah, for the first 8-10" or so is 1" pipe from the header to the open space in the frame where the original muffler was. Thanks guys.
