346NE vs 254XP vs 55CP...Sibling Rivalry. Results are in!!!!

[cgraham1]

I think the 2165 is the better looking

I really like my 2171...

I also should’ve kept my ported 357xp.

Just came to the point where I had too many saws, and not enough money... so I made a goal to get my collection down to 5 total saws, which meant I had to make some tough decisions. I currently have 8 saws, but at one point I had a whole lot more...

Glad to see the Pioneer didn't go down the road.

Nope. That was a before pic, but I do still have the P60

That 2171 is a gorgeous saw

Been driving all day and just got to see the results.

Damn, the 346 looks like a turd! You all can send your garbage XP saws my way since they are so worthless against an old 254, a new 550, or even a 55. Looks like dead last in all categories.

*s-word, I wonder why? Cat muffler or ultra rich tune? Didn’t even seem that mean in the vids.

Yeah, I thought the 346 sounded a bit rich myself.

Cool video guys, great job Josh.
That 55 was really cutting too.
Port the 346

Some say something about 281/288s???lol

 

[dustinwilt68]

Today makes me wanna get a 288 and build it so we can have a 288-off. I had a lot of fun today!!!!

346 is bone stock, I haven't even cut the limiters off. A few days ago I twisted on the screws a bit, but the limited coil makes free RPM tuning kind of a pain. So rather than risk abusing the top end for this little but of fun, I put the jets back where they have always been, almost as rich as the limiters would allow. Make no mistake, I'm not crying foul or saying things weren't even. It is what it is, and I ran the 346 the way I would any other day in the woods... It doesn't have a cat muffler


PS: nobody is getting my 346

 

[beaglebriar]

That was a real nice video. Can't take anything away from that 254 for sure. I own one of each of the saws that were tested....time to do some testing of my own.[emoji16]
