Now if porting is the holy grail of chainsaws and offers such a great difference then why don't the builders (manufacturers) supply them that way ?
Makes one wonder doesn't it ?
EPA requirements.

i don't like asking for help weather i need it or not.
but thanks for offering
my kid nearly lost a finger in a woodsplitter today, so another step backwords
life has it's ups and downs, were on a bit off a down swing right now
Who mods 562xp mufflers? It looks like it needs to be split and welded back together and i don't have a welder.
You can mod them without splitting if you have some long carbide burrs in a grinder. I did a 555 like that. I opened it all the way up under the deflector.
You just left the inside alone?
I gutted everything inside it. It takes a little while to do since you have to go through the outlet and inlet to do it. The gas goes in and down and then back up to the outlet. It probably took me 45 minutes of messing around to do it.
You're right. It won't cut down a tree. It usually cuts several. It doesn't like to stop with just one. And it does it day after day after day after....
Money is being ponied........
Sometimes things just fall in place.
Although, that wasn't ever my issue. Guess that just wont get through to all, but hey, I'm the one who hasn't run a saw worked over by one of the saw gurus on here. And even then, what will 1 saw, by 1 tuner prove?
Its pretty amazing that NO-ONE who has run a ported saw chimed in with any downsides, no cases of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Oh well, as they say - time to find out for myself. Or at least wait a couple of weeks for it to wing its way to me!

You really will enjoy that saw. The only problem will be finding big wood to feed it. Terry builds saws with an attitude. They seem to be angry.:msp_w00t:

Thanks! I knew I needed a bigger saw, felling a heavy leaner and watching it start to break away quicker than I could get out the back of my plunge cut confirmed it. All was well, but getting jobs done without having to clean my undies out with a spoon is preferable.
I do WAY too much cutting on wet and/or windy days, as that's how it fits in my work. My main business is spraying weeds, so any weather when I cant spray I try and hunt other jobs. Tends to be weather when you want to get the job done and get the hell out of there. Figure this saw will fit with that theory.
Back a long time ago I obtained a permit to carry in a New England state I won't mention. I decided on a S&W model 27. It was a huge revolver chambered in .41 Mag. Being young and impressionable I soon found myself visiting places I would have never ventured to if I didn't have that cannon strapped to my waist. Mix that with drinking and it was a disaster waiting to happen. Luckily, I got rid of the gun and didnt get one to replace it. Sure enough, I quit visiting places where I didn't need to be.
Be careful where that big ported saw lures you to attempt things you would normally leave alone. Certain words like leaner, wet, and windy tend to indicate you aren't hard to lure towards trouble.
Enjoy your saw.
Be safe.
The S&W M27 was/is chambered for .357 magnum. If you had a S&W chambered for .41 mag, it was a model 57.
