Just pick it up from a dealer. Have to drill two holes in cover.I need to find the o.e. outer dawg ..just don't look right without it ..and want to keep the captured nuts on the clutch cover ....
Can you direct me to a good thread about removing those baffles? I’ve done searches but don’t understand wtf I’m reading or looking at.Big opening, but the way it's baffled to get there from the cylinder exhaust port is a ****ing joke.
Maybe @huskihl will let us know how much he opens them up?Remove the muffler and you'll see what's going on. A drill will remedy it.
I've only done the one 572 for @shadco, although they're similar to a 550 and 562. I grind through the tube from the inlet side and take the hole down as low as I can go with a burr, and yet still reach the far side to deburr the hole. Then I grind off the factory deflector and enlarge the exit hole to the size that best caters to the owners needs. And fit a custom deflector and screen where the original one wasMaybe @huskihl will let us know how much he opens them up?

run it like your a meth head and the po po is inbound.Yeah I usually use my knife and a pine needle but when I’m halfway through a rotted out stump cut that’s 36” across I’m not stoppin for nothin.... and that’s usually when the saw gets so hot and the chain goes a flyin
run it like your a meth head and the po po is inbound.
all i can add is it must me be nice!... Wifey would remove my testaculars If i spent that much on another saw!

I'll look for pics that I sent him. My main concern is giving the heat a straighter path out the front. So the less metal inside, the more heat can get out. But its impossible to get the whole baffle out without cutting the muff in half, or at least cutting a big hole in it and welding it back up. In my opinion, it's one of the more difficult mufflers to open up. And without removing a large portion of the baffle, there's not much for gains to be hadYou didn’t happen to get any pics of the 572’s muffler when you opened her up did ya? That’d be really interesting to see; a before and after type deal. Did you notice any considerable power difference? Enough to justify the work?

Probably nothing if you went slow for awhile to let the autotune adjust.Hmmm... some food for thought for sure. I might wait a bit until I have an extra OEM muffler then go to town just in case I botch the job.
This is probably the dumbest **** you ever heard... but what would happen if I ran the saw with no muffler at all?
