I'm all about pics, I'd help you out but both my good cameras died within the last week. All I got left is my first digicam, 1.3MP lol but can't find the one smart media card for it (and probably never be able to get another one). Camera on phone is crap... man I hate to spend money right now on a new camera.

OK after much research on the arborist site i have modded my saw I reccomend vieving several of the muff mod threads because after reading a couple and looking at my own muffler I decided on a bit different mod. After looking at my own muffler i decided not to cut or drill in the rectangular depression area mainly because this is straight out from the port kinda like a straight pipe. Since im not building a drag saw I didnt really want a drag pipe. So i settled in a bit more of a conservative mod. Some mufflers have two oval holes and some have four or two sets of holes. My particular muffler only had the two oval holes so i trimmed away the material between them to create a long slot. Then measured and created another slot at the top just above the depressed area asme size as the other slot which greatly increases the overall size of the exhaust opening yet all of the exhaust gasses still pass through the baffled area inside the muffler (less noise). After that I trimmed the opening in the cover plate to nearly double the opening size. Then tuned the saw which required removing the limiter caps (tossed them). Seems to run great took me about an hour to perform. Did it about an hour ago. Tomorrow i plan to cut some wood and i will be sure to post some after mod feedback. Way easier than i thought it would be!!
