Okay, guys, I'm ready to start mod'ing the mufflers on all my saws. Since the 036 is such a wimp, that's where I'd like to start! I know some of you love your 036's, and my local Stihl shop says mine is running great, but I just find it pathetically under-powered. Time to hang some balls on it!
Anyone got a diagram of the best mod's for this muffler? Should I run to the dealer and pick up a fresh muffler gasket, or anything else, before I start?
My big question, having spent years building hot rods, is what I'm giving up at lower RPM's, by opening her up? I'd watch guys put free-flowing exhaust on cars with intakes and cam's tuned for low RPM torque, and then wonder why their cars were slower.![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/rolleyes.gif)
If this goes well, I'll be doing the 064 and T435, as well.
