    I'm thinking of doing Lakeside53's famous 361 muffler mod on mine.

    I'm thinking of tigging (braze welding) it with silicon bronze filler. Is there any problem(s) I should look out for with that?

    I've never done TIG welding, but you just have to be careful that the temp doesn't get too high. The muffler casing is pretty thin (about 0.080") so you don't want to damage it. The oxy-fuel (propylene) torch I used on mine worked great.

    Silicon Bronze works great, some of the muffler mods I have done are on .025" metal and I have used silicon bronze and regular steel filler. Its all in the weld prep if there is any rust.

    Get caught in the woods around here with out a spark screen... and you'll not be a happy camper. That is why Andy went to the trouble of making one that would accept the spark screen off a TS400 cutoff saw.

    Anybody can hack a hole in a muffler and pry it open with a scrench... what the heck, do you drive a Passat?

    Ouch!

    Well, in my defense, that is my GF's Jetta diesel. You see her at the end of my last vid. I drive a Comanche(mj), a Chevy Colorado, a TJ and a Chevy 3500. The Jetta is in the barn because the CV's blew up ;( The manche gets the wood out of the forest, the 3500 takes it to wherever or whomever needs it when we have enough(which seems like never with our hungry furnace), and the rado mostly takes me on pavement. The Tj mostly tries to kill me.

    As for fire marshals, who do you think sold me his saw? Outside of fire season, the others don't care.

    Here's the poor lil Jetta after it threw it's CV out in Tigard:



    I really shouldn't make fun of you guys, coz the girl also has a slammed Scirocco. Or however ya spell it. She's from Belgium, go figure.

    Hello,
    I have a ms361 that i want to mod the muffler like Lakeside53. But i had some questions on what stuff he or you all used
    1) Did you use mapp gas to braze ? AS i have some in the basement)
    2) What kind of brazing rod did you use.
    3)Any good place to buy a 5/8od, 9/16 Id pipe (what kind of pipe do you recommend)
    4) Can i drill a hole in the muffler with a regular drill bit and not have to drill it on a angle, to put the pipe in once i cut a 45 degree angle?

    BTW Does Lakeside53 sell the kit (pre finished pipe, spark arrester, clip), if so how much, or how much if i bought a muffler and sent it to him.
    I tried to pm him but him box was full

    thanks so much for any and all help

    Did anyone ever find a good place to get the 16mm tube from? I tried my local true value and they did not have it.

    Its funny how little some stihl dealers know also trying to tell me it will hurt my saws performance lol. They did not even know what the RMC chain was.
