Sorry for the pictures, they were taken late in the evening. I got the baffle cut out of the muffler, I went in through the back and cut it open with a dremel. Just followed down the lines on the back of the muffler, cut at the top to meet the cuts, then opened it up, folded it back. The mufflers original exit that is all bent up in the first picture was cut off, just ran out of cutting wheels that evening. I did more grinding on the muffler after I took these pictures, I went back at it to remove some more material. I have another oem muffler that I purchased, was planning on modding it too, but doing it a different way. Wanted to know..do these saws need backpressure, or would an empty can like this help the saw more. I removed the baffle out of the muffler on my 359 and it really showed improvement, but xt saws are different?
