Dad's old 039 that he bought new in '92-94 was a great saw for years. I then found pre-link bucks AS, opened the muffler a good bit and defeated the limiters. It found 2 new gears. Ran great right up to the ay that it was set ablaze n a truck... I've "fixed" a few 029s and they do VERY well afterwards, but they're loud. A friend has worked a muffler mod out which redirects the sound waves a few times, with little restriction and is both far better flowing and not loud. Nearly eliminates the higher frequencies and is VERY nice. The 261 is done that way now and the Stumpbroke will be shortly. It and I may be better friends after that.

Just opened the 029 muff to look. Two little square holes about quarter inch square. How much did you open yours and how. Pics or it aint so

Well, it was destroyed in a fire and is now scrap iron... I gutted the whole ting and then made a 3/4" deflector coming out of it. The trimmed the tabs and re-tuned. It liked just shy of slobbering rich. It used more fuel, but ran night and day better and cooler, especially stumping.

Never taken a crimped muffler apart. Whats best way

 

[Locust Cutter]

Dremel or smaller die grinder.

I've seen some use fire and undo the crimp. I've poked a few extra hole in some poulan wild muffler by taking an egg shaped burr and coming in from the exhaust port side.

FYI I'm a hack.

What stops me on them crimped mufflers is getting them sealed back after.
One could braze them but my regulators aren’t worth a damn anymore.[emoji37]

Why would you need to take the crimp apart??
Talk about a Rube Goldberg approach...
Lol.

 

[Hedgerow]

Take the front diverter off.
Bore 1/2 - 3/4" hole at end of baffle.
adjust diverter outlet size no your decibel tolerance.
Go cut wood.

I just blow it straight out the front. Cut a piece of 3/4 copper tubing at a 45 and braze it over the hole.

Matt, Im assuming yer talkin bout drilling the hole to bypass the baffle

Drill two 5/16”(ish) holes and connect them with a Dremel cut off disk per Matt.

Angle cut the ‘cover thingy’ to suit.
