Makita/Dolmar DCS6421 Done Right!

[EB Saw]

My Stihl Ms 441 burned recently in the Napa, Ca fires and i got a hold of Andy at West Hill Saw House and he built me up this beast. Full port job and muffler mod, everything that could be done was done. Nothing like insurance money to fund her

What do you guys think?

...yep the aftermarket b/b.. or the 7 series factory kit is awesome ..and they are very nice stock also... ported even better...

I gotta say it: given the issue of fires, that front exhaust outlet probably isn't a good idea.

I hear yah, but... there is a spark arrester installed over that port and nothing up there is left to burn all good, I see your concern though

How much you got into it? If you can test it against a MS461. It should cut as good or better, then you have it running right. I spent a lot of time on my exhaust and it looks like your small and a little long. What i did was start with a 3/8's hole and a unibit, the kept sizing up till it fell off. Then tacked my outlet tube, start long and cut. .100 at a time untill no gains. Mine spanks a 461, video link.
