Stock mufflers

[junkman]

Anybody running a stock muffler ? I put one on the 660 sawmill saw ,and it still cut the wood ,but i lost 1000 rpms due to being fat in tune ,so a slight tweak i was back to 13k ,it still cut the wood ,amazing ,i have never ran a stock muffler before ,and it was much quieter .

It's me ,i was getting sick of the noise on the mill ,and tried a stock muffler just to see if it worked ,i actually liked it .

more power from modded muffler = done faster = less overall noise exposure.

Stock mufflers and OPE oil.....what's next?

i used my 660 mill out in the street milling in the suburbs.. didn't have one neighbor come out and complain about noise. they cant be that loud lol
wrap the muffler in Kaowool. or rough pipe it like a cylindral muffler.

I run a stock muffler on my 6100. I don't have any desire to make it louder. However some saws have an annoying exhaust note stock and need opened up just to tolerate them running.
Milling I can totally understand not wanting a saw to loud. I would have to see vast improvements to justify the extra noise.

I wonder if that is because it didn't bother them or they didn't want to go yell at the guy in the street with a chainsaw.
Chainsaw massacre was a popular movie they may have that running through the back of their mind.

i got a bone stock homelite super xl and it is loud enough as is with out removing the guts. that stihl 041 will make a deaf kid cry with only two addition slits added to the muffler. i like a little noise with out having the to pack my ears with cotton balls.

If I had a saw dedicated to milling I would mod the muffler in a way to direct the noise and fumes away from the log and user

I hate loud saws but it's part of it.
My dual port cover saws are ear busting loud.

Wide open loaded is between 9200 and 10 k depending in how hard i push the handlebars ,the sweet spot for smooth boards seems to be 7200 ,when i piss revved the saw no load and shut it off tach said 12900 ,i had to lean the carb after took the dual cover off it lost almost 1000 rpm doing that ,has stock baffle box inside and little factory opening now ,sounds like a sewing machine,still has plenty of power also for milling

We built a band saw mill for that here. Using a loud saw sucks.
