As long as the muffler opening is not blocking the exhaust exit, it shouldn't be an issue. I don't know why they wouldn't make it to match though.What's up with that?

The air filter design is almost identical to the one in my Earthquake G3800 clone and in my Ryobi 10532/GZ400 after I removed the partition that blocked it (must have been some sort of patent issue before Husky bought them) - it works very well. So does the similar chain tensioner on my GZ4000. Control levers are a matter of preference - I hate the combined designs I've used and much prefer simple, separate controls like these. As for fit and finish - Zenoah castings are as good as they come, and the plastic parts have always been well made on the one's I've seen.

"Um, boss...the clamshell design won't fit a normal cylinder so I had to redesign the exhaust port on the jug."

Well, I like it overall. I might need/want a smaller saw at some point. Thanks for the look, Mitch!

Thanks much for the useful thread. IMHO, the price would be justified if the saw turns out to be relatively bulletproof during the course of its service life in professional use. As far as the "ez-start", if it results in less wear & tear on the shoulder at the end of the day, that's fine with me. Again, thanks for the thread.
It looks like it's just a jog in the outlet port, which should not be a problem if it has enough flow - I can't really see it well. It would be a PITA for porting, but that of course was not a design consideration. I assume they just needed to re-position the muffler to one side for packaging reasons.
It's not a clamshell though.

Well, the clean air injection and the filter look good.
Not 400 and hoop jumping good though. Plastic poulans for ten bucks and hoop jumping FTW

And here I thought it was to hold up the 24" bar that it'll be running on the west coast...If husky could keep their fasteners tight they wouldn't need both of them
I still wonder how the redmax 4500 for $200 less would compare to 4300 543xp in real world use not paper specs.
husky 543 zenoah 4300 show 43.1cc 2.95 hp PHO 9.92 lbs and $200 more.
redmax 4500 44cc 2.7 hp 9.6 lbs for $200 less then above.

I doubt they're expecting to really sell that many of these. Seems like a fairly niche market for pros and Husky afficianados

I could see he appeal, but $50-100 less would make it a lot more tempting. Hell I visited my Dad today and we went to hold the T540xp at a local equipment store... For all of the canopy disassembley we do, it makes a lot more sense to me (right now) than buying a 550xp (though I will have one eventually). Plus I still intend to get a harness, flipline and gaffs to be able to do some climbing on my own, which it was designed for. I love big saws, but the practicality/handiness of the small saws is hard to deny after the bluster of testosterone subsides.

Worth repeating bubba! That right there is one of the best quotes I've seen. Truth be told!
