I have one on my 462 and my 044. I like them, seem to pep them up a little bit, but if you don’t normally wear ear pro it’ll make you change your stance on that.

Started wearing the ear defenders when I realized the wife was throwing stuff at me to get my attention. I agree with wearing it.
I went with factory dual port

This stainless muffler craze cracks me up.

Huh. What's the purpose of using stainless? To keep the heat in the cylinder? Packing the fins with fiberglass would probably work better, and be cheaper...
I know from tigging it that stainless also warps like a biotch with heat, due to its poor thermal conductivity. I wonder how that would work out in a muffler.
Seems like a stainless muffler is a solution in search of a problem. I put a dual-port on my 660 and then opened it up some more with a 3/4" pipe. Now it sounds like an RM80 and pulls almost as hard.

Not sure. Looks? People like pretty looking saws

I had one come in on a clone 660 that had bern used heavily for about 6 months, the guy said his bark box broke in a week and the Egan was going right along. Its rowdy...hearing protection is an absolute must. But i did a dual port and egan on it with retune between...the egan let me put more load on it with a 32 bar, full comp, buried in oak, without bogging. The dp cover was a little more sensitive to it.

Not to derail, but has anybody ever messed with the copper muffler gasket / finned heatsink gizmos they sell? Here's one:
