As the title states, I have some questions about muffler mods...
I've cut fish gills on my 261s and 441. I've open up and removed baffles on 026s, 360s, etc. All have seen improvements. Without doubt.
On my larger saws, 460/461/066, I've only added the OEM dual port muffler front case and removed the screen. I have read through every thread I can find on modding them and found various recommendations. My questions are as follows:

On my larger saws, 460/461/066, I've only added the OEM dual port muffler front case and removed the screen. I have read through every thread I can find on modding them and found various recommendations. My questions are as follows:
- Do you modify the internal baffle? Open up side holes, remove it totally, create a front hole in it, etc?
- Do you open up the factory port on the pto side of the saw in combination with the dual port cover, in combination to the baffle mods. I've watched the video of Julian and Tree Monkey's testing on port number and location - their results indicate the more flow, the better.
- Does the 460/461/066 saws need back pressure at the baffle to retain torque? What are the trade-offs, if any, to no baffle?
Quit telling lies!!!!
