Lakerized 361 Muffler Mod

[Bowtie]

Did my first "Lakeside" 361 muffler mod today...local Stihl dealer FINALLY got parts in. Gonna post pics tomorrow after painting and baking. I actually found the pipe at the True Value hardware store. It was thicker wall than I wanted, so I drilled out the ID until the TS400 screen fit. Like I said, pics to follow tomorrow.

Here is my try at Lakeside style 361 muffler mod. Im VERY happy with the difference in performance, I am not kidding, its like a different saw. The paint I did something wrong on this muffler. It isnt going to be strong like the 064 muffler I did, yet this muffler was prepped better and was cleaner to start before painting. Oh, well, when I wear enough paint off to annoy me I will paint it again, or just use it.

I may buy another muffler in the future to try some different kinds of mods, this has me thinking, but Im sure Im behind the curve of the experts. But Oh what fun!

I ran a tank through it before I took the pics, thats how I realized the paint wasnt right. Killed the limiter tabs after mounting the muffler, tuned with a tach, than fine tuned by ear, and went to work on some hackberry. Brought the saw home and took pics.

Andy, I'm sorry if I missed it if you posted it, but where do you get the screen for your 16mm mod? That is I.D. right? I am dying to try your mod on my 361. Thanks, Burv

From the Stihl dealer. Ask for a muffler screen for a Stihl TS400 cut off saw.

Did this mod today for Snowpig. I hope he is happy with it. I still think my paint procedure needs improvement, but it IS a chainsaw muffler, bound to get scratched to hell anyway.
