Went into our local Cal Ranch and those 2 Stihl 400CM are still there. Reading the price tag... has 25" bar and 33RS3 chain, Price $879.99. If the date generated it shows April 2021. Not sure they would sell fast at this store.

I had gotten on a list locally. It took him 30 days to get the saw, and it was the only saw that was delivered. He has not gotten any pro saws for a while. The same day, a shop three hours east of here got one. On a whim, I called the local shop and the saw had just come in the door. I got my saw and saved myself a long trip.
I took it out to the woodpile yesterday and noodled down some big rounds with it. I LIKE IT! I may order a Jason Eagan Straight Shot muffler cover for it, in lieu of a muffler mod, so that I can replace the original, if I have warranty issues.

That price is about right. Mine with a 20-inch was listed at $869. The dealer gave me $10 off because he did not have a hat to give me, so it was $859. The tax was a killer, though.
Those straight shots are sweet. Have one for my 462.

Unfortunately, they are sold out right now. He has a hard time keeping them in stock. I am glad that they have been successful for him.

Loud as all hell. Likely where the M-Tronics really shows its stuff. Retunes and compensates for the new muffler.

I have seen comparisons on Jason's facebook page and there is a good gain over a stock muffler cover. He has actually run some of the comparisons on a dynomometer. I would, however, like to know the gain vs a simple muffler mod. I don't think that it would be too much. One thing that is good about the Straight Shot, is that it has a spark arrestor in it, where my mms do not. Another good thing about it, is that you can put it on a saw that is still under warranty and switch it back to stock, if a warranty problem arrises.
Hey Steve.......wanna run a ported 400.......at the porter now.
looking for the right LoPro chain and bar now
I really like the the way that saw sounds and performs with that muffler, however with that muffler blowing directly on the saw's chassis, I am wondering how long will it take for a chassis structural integrity failure?
Hey Rob. Sure wood like to run that. I can't believe you don't have a chain (or 20) laying around.
It’s Lo pro goos for 100cc......Hey Rob. Sure wood like to run that. I can't believe you don't have a chain (or 20) laying around.

Just crazy. I'm going back and forth on a new mower engine for a john deere. $850, 724cc, 24hp. Seems like a run away deal compared to 400c at more than10* the displacement.
Thanks
