Bark box performance on Stihl MS362 M tronic?

[Red97]

Wow…I see that’s a side muff mod. Have you dyno’d a 362 with a bark box? Results? Thanks for posting!

Most all muffler mods of any size are .3-.5hp gain. Weather it is diy, or a replacemt front cover.

How about the torque curves?

So torque follows the hp up or no?

Dyno's only read torque. The HP #'s come from a mathematical equation.

Bark box installed! Thanks Red97.

I can’t speak to the 362, but I put one on my 462 and seat-o-pants meter says it rips through scrap 2x4 faster than ever. I haven’t actually used it to cut anything bigger than that.

if you use a 462 ....for cutting a 2x4 you should cut down on weight ....sell it .... buy the kids some early Christmas gifts and............ get perhaps a Milwaukee battery operated circular saw at home depo ....just saying...

Some improve, and others just shift a bit higher. Making more peak horsepower up top

I am curious specifically in the width of curve of a straight shot vs a bark box vs just opening up the stock location.

I plan on doing a muffler mod segment. 20% - no muffler etc and show the curves.

Please do that with a 362 m tronic! Selfishly…

Have a Eagan straight shot muffler cover and the red beard saw air filter kit on my 362cm , you can tell the difference , I usually run a 20 inch on the saw full chisel or skip man does it pull harder now
