Chainsaw Muffler Modifications - Internet Sales World Wide

Mike,

There is a highly polished spark arrestor headed your way right now. Just find something round to curl it up. should fit down the pipe pretty tight.

Thanks,
Scott

Eric Frei · 3rd July 2008, 10:49 PM

I haven't mucked around with the H screw anymore as it runs about right but I dare say when summer comes I'll need to.

Sorry about the delay posting that but I knwo what to do when it warms up.

Can I get one of these modified mufflers for a Husky 66? How much can I expect to pay for a new muffler for you to modify?

I can get a new Muffler for that saw for $40.00 so add $85 to that and shipping.

So total shipped price is $140.00.

Thanks,
Scott.

OK thanks for that. The reason I ask is that I am worried I may find it too loud. Would the outlet be in the same location, a different one, or both?

Well you would keep your stock muffler in case you are working in sensitive areas. You can not have such performance gains without making the saw louder. Only way would be to have a motorcycle style muffler with an expansion chamber. But you are talking a serious racing saw with serious money involved.

Yep fair enough, I'm not interested in something like that. And to be honest, I'm more worried about my own hearing than anyone else's, I usually don't use the saw in residential areas.

Well here's a tip...Use hearing protection no matter what saw you use. Mod or no Mod. Its not so loud that you will get injured, it actually sounds better.

I do anyway, but you have a point. Any chance you'd be able to get some readings with a decibel meter?

ScottWojo · 27th August 2008, 11:13 PM

Sorry, I do not have a decibel meter. I do not know how to properly perform the test anyway. Eric (Ekka) has one of the mufflers over there. Perhaps he has one of those meters or you can see the saw for yourself.

Thanks,
Scott.

Fair enough. A decent decibel meter would be about $20, and all you would have to do is place the meter in a fixed location, and cut some wood in a fixed location, about 5-10 feet away. Then just do some cuts and record the results, with a stock muffler and then the modified one. If it helps you sell just one muffler then it's probably worth it.

Ekka lives about 1000 miles from me, so there's not much chance of me hearing it in person.

Eric Frei · 27th August 2008, 11:44 PM

I have been reading, they're a little noisier but not that bad.
Page 75 of the attached document should help you out.

Most saws here in Australia come with two dB numbers on them. The higher number is the noise at operators point and the other at 7.5m away I think.

Are you implying that were I to buy the meter and perform these tests you would buy a cover? Or have you already made a decision?

Thank you,
Scott.

If I were happy with the results, yes. But I'm sure there would be other people who would be more likely to buy one of your mufflers if you could prove that the noise level increase isn't too bad.

ScottWojo · 28th August 2008, 11:27 PM

Well why don't you try this. Buy one, try it out and if you do not like it, return it for a full refund. Were you to return it, you would be the first of hundreds of buyers. I have never had one returned, never.

The muffler is not open to atmosphere. There is an internal pipe and a very stout screen. Yes, if you point the pipe directly at someone's ear It would definitely seem louder. The majority of the sound waves will be concentrated out the pipe in one direction. But the sound is a deep throaty sound. Much more pleasant sound than the stock "RAT TAT TAAT"

Thanks for all your questions.
Scott.

ScottWojo · 5th September 2008, 11:31 PM

August Was a very slow month for mufflers. Was nice to clean out the shop a little and reorganize everything.

dwayne · 12th September 2008, 04:01 PM

I have a Echo cs670. I would love to have a custom exhaust made or purchase one somewhere. Any ideas would help, sound is not a problem the louder the better

newguy18 · 12th September 2008, 04:17 PM

I would need your muffler to build it. If you hook up with HawaiiPastryguy (from Another Site AS) he has one that I built for him. It was a double barrel shot gun style and it absolutely flies.

Thanks,
Scott.

dwayne · 16th September 2008, 10:14 AM

do you have any pictures of the mufflers

You can do the purchase any way you like. I can take paypal. the 200t and 192t are saws that I have not worked over yet. But I guess anything can be done.

my eMail is scott_wojtasik@hotmail.com

Thanks,
Scott.

Eric Frei · 20th October 2008, 12:00 AM

Trev and perhaps others,

On my muffler I asked Scott to make the hole point left and up at 45 degrees.

Not so good, I'd say maybe go straight out? Just your left hand gets hot when cutting stumps down low.

Toss some ideas around.
