Is that the same as my non M tronic?Removing the baffle makes the biggest difference. Both in hp and dB.
MS 241?

Can't say for certain, but the 362 non M I modded recently had a similar baffle. That was much thinner, tho. The baffle on the 261 is sorta thick for some reason.

We just add a deflector to the recoil side. Bypasses the baffle.......easy peasy.
So am I seeing that you cut the inner baffle out then opened up the muffler outside also?
Yes. It requires a dremel with very long bits to do it with, though. Otherwise you need to uncrimp it. I use a set I got on Ebay from China when I need long bits. I thnk it is a 10 piece dremel carbide bit set. They are fairly long lasting, too.

That isn't really a NK setup, even though it does cut a quite narrow kerf.
NK in 3/8" Picco/Lo pro is .043.

You guys always make me laugh. How many saws do you carry into the woods???? I cut the tree down with my 70cc saw then set that down. I go fire up my 40cc saw and limb up to 6 inch stuff. Then I fire up my 50cc saw finish limbing the tree. Then I block up to 10 inch...... now I fire up my 60cc saw and block up to 16.78 inches..... now I pull out my 70cc and finish blocking..... trust me this is the fastest way. Lol.
I fire up the trusty 440/460 hybrid 28 inch bar 7 pin. I cut the tree limb it out and block it up...... With one saw..... crazy I know.

I feel silly swinging at Rhododendron with my ported 044. Yes, it is crazy.

It's really a small tree on this estate. They have been let alone for 20-30 years.
The vines are bad, too.

Somebody's talking crap here & it ain't the tree!
It depends on the work you're doing mate regarding the 241 vs. muffler modded 550XP. I own and run both.
Everybody here seems to be talking "cut times" when we should be talking efficiency - dropping saws into cants is good fun but it doesn't give an indication of fuel economy, filtration, throttle response, how good the spikes are at biting in from different angles etc etc. There are so many variables here that it's a pretty hard call to even comment on what is a better saw. The 550XP is an absolute weapon but I find myself reaching for the 241 more and more. If all I was doing was cutting 12-16" wood all day the 550XP would be perfect. When doing domestic type jobs however with a variety of wood sizes the 241 is a great saw.
With arms outstretched all day limbing the 550/261 will definitely tax the arms more than a 241. Just remember that the average AS member is nowhere near a full time saw operator and "saw fitness" is not something that comes naturally (just like forearm pump in dirt bikes). That little bit of extra weight will certainly be noticable by somebody who doesn't use saws much.

Take Nancy Pelosi's advice.
You have to buy one, in order to see how well it performs.
