The 7310p will be here in a couple days. Anyone out there who's done a MM on one and willing to share pics/info? Any help appreciated...thank you.

Lots of real estate on the pto side of the muffler to add a deflector.

Thanks Red. Are these muffs similar to the 600 series Echo's with a 90 degree turn plate in the exhaust port? Sounds like the muff has nothing inside and should be easy to mod. Maybe just open up the factory port some?

Every Echo I've owned has been helped significantly with a MM. Why would this model be any different?
Could. Honestly have not studied the muffler much. But I will most likely add a side exit on mine.
Maybe a larger outlet up to could work too.

Take a look at the muffler and the cylinder porting.
Muffler is free enough for stock on the model, unlike most others.

Appreciate the info. If what you're saying is true, I'll probably just leave it alone. Run it a while stock and then maybe decide later to let one of the builders do their thing.
Mitch Webar's 7310 is mean. Excited to see what Red97 does to his also.

Got the saw today. A little info: Out of the box it weighed 15.0 lbs with both dogs.
The muffler is not the typical user friendly Echo. They have welded the deflector onto the can making it harder for the average Joe to do a MM. I tried taking the muffler off but the two t25 bolts are unbelievably tight. Gonna need an impact to get them loose.

Started it up and was surprised at the throttle response and rpms out of the box. Much better than Echo's of the past.

I did pull it but can't get a good angle to look in there. I'll take your word for it.
So the muffler is just an empty can with a fairly good sized exhaust port? Nothing in there to obstruct flow? Thanks for your help.

To my knowledge, no.
