Open the face of the muffler exhaust baffle up.
Why am I not sold on the Echo TimberWolf?

There's no need to go beyond opening up the deflector on a stock 590. Taking the internal piece out of the deflector was worth 50% more flow on a flow bench. Also going beyond that gets stupid loud very quickly on the 590.
Don't know why the photos upside down.

Loud is being polite. It downright hurts even with muffs on. First time I fired mine up was in the garage, thought my ears were going to start bleeding.
Echo are as good as stihl and husqvarna, they just don't have the following the other 2 do

Also the chains on backwards. Don't be surprised if your less then 1 turn from seated on the high side after you tune it.

I dont even do that unless im just checking it..... I tune in wood try to get a huge log ...go way rich and cut harder then i normally would then inch it in.....the cs 490 was the first time i did not totally break it in before mods.... i usually run it slightly rich cut for awhile then mod....i have never taken one back so i figured fug it....im getting better at being in tune with my saws.... I find my self adjusting all the time if i think its running hot... some people dont pay attention to a saw... i make a few hard cuts let it idle listen cut it off watch the muffler smell it ... i really hot saw will even smell hot... i know im weird....when i get a new jug of gas i even find myself paying attention....i used to just run 32 to 1 and run them hard.... now i go 40 to 1 and come as close as i can get it in big wood to tune....
I sure wish we could go ahead and sell this guy on the "CS-590 Echo Timberwolf " ---I just went out and bought 2 more + extra bars and chains ,oil.................. I have 1 running here next to me piss reving as I type. Sweet---- Price increase coming soon I here

Still the best deal in new saws at that price. Although at $550 a nice used 70cc saw is looking like a better deal.
I'm glad I bought mine for 299+ tax when I did. At my age it'll be like new when my Grandson's inherit it and I really love that saw. For me it's a little heavy for constant use but it'll drop ANYTHING, around here.

The 590 at Home Depot is going from $399 to $550???

Our HD is still selling them for $399. But all you have to do is catch a local dealer when they have their annual 20% off sale and you are at $320.
Why did you say the new current price is $550?
Local Home Depot in Houston says $399. https://www.echo-usa.com/Products/Chain-Saws

You don’t get that stellar Echo warranty if you buy off eBay.
