The muffler has a bolt on cover just like the 400C. It will be easy to mod.
I’m referring to port matching. It looks like they have made the portion that inserts into the exhaust port part of the structure, similar to the 201t muffler. Grind all that away and you are left with very little, very thin stainless to hold that sucker on the cylinder.

Probably going to have to change a tube out to do it

Almost looks like they’re will be a little room to open exahust to match with tube, looks like the flange on exhaust port will cover part of the tube area depending how precise the fit is. Otherwise might be able to make a reinforcement plate to go inside back half or a new tube with flange on it that slides through a bigger hole in back half and gets tack welded or silver soldered to the inside of the back half.

Also noticed the new version also has a plastic front handle.
They all have a plastic front handle even the old version same chassis as a 362. I think Stihl needs to mold a composite full wrap so we can listen to more comments about plastic handles not belonging on “pro” saws.
It would really trigger people to have to pay extra for that plastic wrap instead of aluminum tubing.

One thing I learnt is the current version uses some special tool to adjust the oil flow rate. Sounds like a dumb idea. What's wrong with a screw driver.

No special tool that was all wrong also it just needs a small screwdriver like a carb tuning one or little bigger, I have a 400 and a 362.

You didn't get anything much from that video that was based in fact.

I don’t quite get why this guy has so much miss information being he was supposed to be a dealership, guess that just shows the quality of some of them now.
Taps on the cylinder.....there's that magnesium cylinder. LOL

And we wonder where misinformation comes from. Social media members have been arguing for a month about the confusion between a magnesium piston, an aluminum piston, a magnesium cylinder, an aluminum cylinder…lol.
