Seriously, I had a modded saw, muffler job etc and it was slightly louder but not that much nor distinctively much. On the fuel side of things I didn't really notice a difference either.

Also, Scott. Which way does that tube point ... away from the bar? As currently when you are cutting stumps low and on some trees it gets pretty bad blowing dirt and crap onto the saw chain. On paperbarks I've set them on fire with the hot exhaust blasting at the bark. Looks like here the tube is pointed away from the cut or when lying the saw on it's side for a finishing stump cut blowing away from the "action area". Just need Scott to confirm that ... then again he could point that tube where-ever I suppose as they are custom made.
