I have one and appreciate the decomp button. They are a great saw and have plenty of grunt. Hang onto it

Thank you!

Do you mean the ones with the cat muffler only, or even the ones with the standard non-cat?

Thank you

Thank you

Another Mk1 or a Mk2 to replace it?

Thank you. It does run very well

Has anyone here run both the above saws? Is there a big performance difference, and is there any reason for a firewood hacker to step up from the 1 to the 2? Over to you

Would anyone care to voice an opinion on how a stock 550xp with a .325 16” bar compares to a 357xp with a .325 18” bar in hardwood? Would they be close in performance?

Does anyone find that when using an open muffler, the four-stroking can’t be heard at WOT? That was my experience

Has anyone on here changed a 359 Husky to a 357xp? If so, was it worth the effort and expense to do it? Can you still get OEM top ends to carry this out? How did it run? Over to the brains trust........

Thank you

The reason I was given for the 359 being so responsive was that they are very choked off compared to the 357xp,

Mine isn’t a cat muffler. I read here a while back that the quickest and easiest way to wake up a 359 was with a muffler mod, and that they are responsive to it.

No doubt about that. I’m just aware that the 359’s are reputed to be very choked off and many say to muffler-mod them

Did it give you a definite performance jump?

I sure hope not

Well, my replacement muffler has arrived and will replace the standard (non-cat) muffler that is on my 2006 359. It has a dandy side port in the new muffler. Would anyone like to hazard a guess what sort of performance difference it’ll make?

You’ll have to keep it, now!

How much gain do you fellows reckon I’ll get from the muffler I just ordered, above? I don’t have a cat muffler now.
