Hi folks, been getting a bunch of questions about this post. Here is a response to most questions I have been asked regarding this post.

I will add a properly sized pipe and spark screen. Then polish the pipe, and paint the muffler.
The process takes 24 hours. I get the muffler at 3 one day, it goes out at three the next day.


Cash in the package, or money order, or we can do a paypal payment. When you send the muffler its $75.00. When I have to obtain a muffler, typically the price will be $125. Shipping included. Performance gain on a 361 is very impressive. An easy 25% increase in power resulting in faster cuts. More production and a longer lasting saw.

Right now your saw stock sounds like a sewing machine. After my modification, it will sound like the high performance engine that it is. It is louder, but more of a pleasant feel good sound, that will match the "holy chit" power.

If it is not what I say it is and you are some how disappointed...send it back and I will replace it and the money with a new stock muffler.

Thanks,
Scott.

How about on an 880?
 
An 880 is a different animal. I have done them. Would be a longer project, and machining of an aluminum integral pipe. Then welded to the alloy muffler. Would do this on an individual case by case pricing.

Thank you,
Scott.
