and here's the muffler on my 2100...it's really a 480 muffler(if im not mistaken) bakc when there was the option of the side deflector or the jungle muffler exhuast(which is huge...) so i cut out part of the restrictive piping in the muffler and add the jungle muffler deflector plate as well,...so it breaths really good now, just have a little problem with hearing afterwords...lol

Nice job on the repair of the cylinder fins. What is your secret to repair? I have a cylinder in need of two wings reattached.

Gotta take credit

Nice job on the repair of the cylinder fins. What is your secret to repair? I have a cylinder in need of two wings reattached.

Gotta take credit for the work I did... The Stihl 044 muffler mod and 372 fin welding is my work and saws. The secret to welding the fins of is 1. cleaning the weld area very well and preheating the whole part before welding. Sometimes I put the parts in the oven (don't tell the wife) but on this one I just heated it up with a torch. You just have to be very careful when preheating with the torch not to over heat or distort the part.

As you can see I did not do a great job preparing/cleaning the weld area on the 372 muffler mod and the welds are not as nice as on the fins. I find silicon bronze filler rod works great for muffler mods.

Good work! I used a part of a scrench to do my 036 but i cut off the hex part

If you can get your other saw up close.....you may still be able to use your muffler stinger to tighten your bar nuts. (The ones on the saw...not the ones in the basket at the local pub).

What kind of paint do you guys use on these mufflers after you weld/braze them to make them look so pretty and does it stay on long? Thanks

 

[oneoldbanjo]

I use the VHT Ceramic exhaust paint that I get at the Automotive Parts store. Be sure to slowly cure it after painting in your oven. Then when you put it on the saw the first time I heat cycle it a few times and then let it sit for a while.

I have found that if you put it on the saw and immediately start cutting wood.....the paint will come off where the muffler gets really hot.

Thanks!.. It's never easy welding thick stuff to thin stuff... TIG makes it easier though.
