Saw with the best sounding exhaust note.

[gmax]

I'll be happy when I get to hear just one 166 idling , 14 of them sounds like a drag car :msp_thumbsup:

 

[Work Saw Collector]

At Idle I like the 056.

It's hard to argue with a 125 at idle or in the cut. A Partner 45 sounds like a baby version of a 125. A MM 288 with the idle turned down has a nice, lumpy, crackle.

 

[wendell]

I can't decide between the McCulloch Super Pro 118 or the Dolmar 166.

That would be a hard choice. :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[tallguys]

Can't comment on the 166 as I've never had one up close, vids sound good though. Something about that Dolmar burble.

Based on what I've heard first hand, my vote goes to the 6800i. Just something about it... :msp_smile:

My 371xp sounded good to me.

 

[Warped5]

Nothing has the sound of an old big block reed valve poulan.

Yup! My 5200 has an underlying snarl that none of my others saws comes close to.

Best sounding saw I have is my Echo twin. Very unique. It sounds better than it cuts!!

Very unique sound! Very smooth cutter, too .... but cuts slooooow.

One reason I'm lookin' for one ...



The saw I WON'T vote for is my McCurtner PM1000! Sounds like that muffler is stuffed full of blankets!

 

[sachsmo]

At idle: Sachs Dolmar 166 hands down.

That would also tend to be my pick in the cut but I'm going to have to give that a little more thought.

Or you could include the 100cc Dolmars as well like the 152/153/ Poulan 6000 at idle as well. . There right there in the mix with the big Poulans and your 166.

Yup,

anyone that's heard Lees' 8 166s has gotta drop their jaw.

But the 152/153s are right there with that crazy lope.

 

[russhd1997]

The 166 just sounds mean at idle. When I see one moving all over the ground sitting there at idle it makes me want one real bad.

For a small saw my Jred 2036 with a few more holes in the muffler sounds pretty good too.

 

[The Burning Rom]

best sounding German saw in my opinion 045 Super.

Close...you're at least in the right family :msp_thumbup:

At Idle I like the 056.

I agree. The dual port magnum version is particularly loud and mean. The 056 Mag II definitely gets my vote for best sounding saw.

 

[Agrarian]

Lombard 650 with its straight pipe - it is mean.

 

[carguy]

I'd have to say the best sound to me anyway is the ported 372 XPW from Terry Landrum. This saw screams about like the old IMSA open class race cars.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

125/250cc Hotsaws.

 

[MEATSAW]

Homelite XL924

Any McCulloch over 70cc

Here is One from the vintage Two man saw sound.

Best I have heard, evil, mean and nasty!!! Just the way I like'em :hmm3grin2orange:

Mine is the MagII dual port version.

 

[mt.stalker]

MM 72cc XP's have a real nice crack to the note @ idle , with a simple hole/screen drilled dead center of the front muff bracket . Reminds me of a nicely cammed BowTie Rat .

 

[MCW]

Solo Twin for me. Awesome sound...

I love ported Huskys. My 390XP is the best sounding saw I own.

8 cubes sounds good

Don't be silly Wayne. That thing of yours is so loud you don't get the chance to actually "hear" it as it ruptures your eardrums before you get that far...

 

[bryanr2]

By far the Sachs Dolmar 166.
Especially 14 at the same time.

Lee

how can anything compete with that?
