I purchased my 034av saw back in March of 93'. First I would like to say that this saw has served me well over the years and that I'm pleased with it's quality. I primarily use the saw to cut firewood and I would say I cut about 4 cords a year. I know from searching the forum that there are several threads on upgrading the 034 to an 036 by changing out the cylinder and piston. Some of the postings indicated that there are a few different mufflers that were used on the 034. I attached a photo of my muffler and was wondering if anyone out there can comment on the ease of upgrade with this style of muffler? In addition, would I gain any power by just doing a muffler mod? I believe this is a pre EPA saw and I've seen some posts that claim the benefit would be marginal. Any comments?
