Muffler Mod on my baby Stihl (pics)

I got a new MS 192 rear handle about 2 months ago for a very light limbing saw. I loved the weight, but found it doggy. I changed to the woodland pro lowpro chain, and it helped, but I wanted more. So yesterday I decided to do a muffler mod. I migged in the factory outlet under the deflector, drilled a 3/8 hole right across from the exhaust port. Them I brazed on a small angled tube and repainted. I had to cut a couple fins off the plastic so it wouldn't melt. I tuned it and I got a huge power and crispness gain. I'm very pleased, and I think it looks very slick, what do you think?

It runs night and day different. Lots less bogging, and much better throttle response.

Do you have a way to check the rpm the saw is running?

Very nice job.

I don't have a way to check RPMs, but they do make a lot of small tachs that you just set right on the saw.

It sounds so mean; reminds me of a fierce jack russell, acts and sounds like it's 100 lbs, but it's still just a tiny thing.
