There were some treads bouncing around about the new MS 880 design with new style muffler, coil, and flywheel. Here's a pic of the muffler..View attachment 212211
The question was about weather this saw could be modded besides dual porting the muffler because the new coil is Rev. Limited and appeared to have a different bolt pattern so the old 088 Non Rev. Limited coil might not bolt up. I emailed Stihl directly and asked if they made a unlimited coil for special applications here was the responce.

Maybe there is a possiblity that the 088 coil will fit and they don't make it anymore, or both the flywheel and coil can be changed over to the old style. There is a pic of the new coil I believe in a thread called (MS 881). Either way it looks like if you want to port and get those crazy RPM's out of your 880 buy an older model with the cast muffler..
