Cant speak to the Husky, But On my Echo 620
I dabbled a bit with the muffler thingy and blower pipe/wand
lengths and end shapes.
Seems that a wide open exhaust can would gain some revs**
But after a certain point, you get that decoupling(?)
of the air and the impeller.
I ran the Echo under a range of those combos
and once you hear that free reving flow seemed to drop off a bit
The housing, elbow & pipes have an ideal flow volume
and it seems you'll need to figure some tweaks
if you want to spin the impeller any faster.
hard to say what you'll change in noise levels
or what kind of howl it makes.
It's like with a vacuum cleaner when you snag a rug or something and
get that rev up of the motor.
it's unloaded the motor so the revs climb
**(yeah I need to order a tach, just seems other stuff begs harder)
