Well how's it sound? How does it compare to the ones that have an outlet on the other side that needs the top cover trimmed?Melt $4 worth of silver solder and grind $2 worth back off

Didn’t run it yet. I’ve got 2 boxes full of 394/5 carcasses but apparently no effing muffler nuts

I love the smell of premix in the morning
You need to! This was a stock saw with no other changes aside from the muffler swap. It picked up 9 seconds in the cut.

Are you selling these?

I don't. They're fairly time consuming. I just make them for personal saws at this point.

Do you have detailed pics of how you made it? If I have pictures I could probably make one here. Looks like a fun project

I kind of like the patina/rust look. Interesting to see how much hotter the bottom of the weld got when I ran it.
After black Ceracoat. Considering the spikes I should have put the second pipe higher.

Easy fix, take off the oversized dumb spikes! I’m afraid I’ll never understand, even in softwood they’re excessive lol

We do a lot of large cottonwood. 4” deep bark and near horizontal root flares. I agree they’re over the top for the average tree and downright dangerous for climbing. I wish they were retractable.

The pipes go in about 1”. It’s not the loudest saw I’ve run. Shifting the outlets back and to the side really helps. I have a 2172 with a 1-3/4” outlet in the front. THAT one is loud. I did this muffler up to swap in. Gotta re-paint it though. It’s got some chinesium finish that my primer doesn’t stick to.
