I did my first muffler mod.

[CoreyB]

Thanks to everyone here and all the great help and info I went ahead and done my first muffler mod.
I didn't do a lot of recorded before and after videos. But I am very happy with the gains. The throttle response is snappier and it seems to be able to keep the rpm through the cut better. Not that it was bad to start.
I just used my dremel to shave the limiter caps while in the saw with out removing the carb. Also used it to open up the muffler and deflector.
This little thing cuts like an angry woodpecker. I am surprised that these things are not more popular.

What saw is that?
Time to give it a little timing advance and up the ante a bit more! [emoji12]

Sorry it is a stihl 192. I looked up how to advance the timing and I think that is out of my comfort level. I would really be depressed if I messed this little girl up.

My 192t was a real turd. I didn't use it cuz I hated it so much. Then I muff modded it and advanced timing and I'm happy cutting right up to 12". If I'm already running it I've even cut a few 20"[emoji12].
The timing advance isn't really to hard. But then I'll try just about anything. I enjoy the challenge and learning opportunities.

I did not take any but could if anybody wanted to see.
I used this thread as a reference and he has some good pictures.

I did angle grind the top ports in the baffle as the exhaust enters the muffler. Just to give it a bit easier path to follow with less restrictions.
