I cut and prune trees full-time and I'm a self employed chainsaw mechanic. I'm using my builds at work before they get sold. This saw is not for sale because the muffler is literally wide open. This mod has pretty good gains with the velocity stack and modified exhaust. I'm going to mod further

A McCulloch eager Beaver 2.0 air filter fits perfectly over the velocity stack. I installed the metal dog, sold separately. 14in pole pruner type bar and chain cuts fast

I love the 170 dog! Try it on a 200t!
the intake turned out awesome. the more I cut into it, the more I realized I didn't really need. Filing down the screw head on the carb butterflies allows more flow. I wish I had a better exhaust mod for it though. I have to learn to make racing pipes.

I was buying chambers/pipes from different dirtbikes and making chambers for older bikes. Now for chainsaws why not buy chambers/ pipes from smaller cc dirtbikes most of the work is done for us.

I would like to get one for my ms290

i would think the rpm that a dirtbike pipe is generally designed to work would be a bit lower than where a saw wants to run, but i could be wrong. seen saws run on ebay scooter pipes and ****, make cool noise but not making power.
