Thistle, why not just drill a port equal in size to the factory exhaust on the clutch side of the muffler in front of the existing deflector. Then buy a 288 or 281 deflector and attach it with self tappers. It will cost you about $20 and a 1/2 hour of your time and you'll have a factory looking dual port.

Oooof. I hadnt thought of that.That's perfect! THANKS!!

The factory one a well-known North Cali saw builder is selling has identical factory ports,one on each side of muffler.I've only seen a handful of factory dual ports,less than 10 in a lot of years time. Still too high priced IMO,even for a rare OEM part that was discontinued years ago.

Gonna look for the deflector now,buy it if available,then wait to drill the port AFTER it arrives,just in case.

Do I need an extra screen/spark arrester also? Existing muffler still has one I believe.

I usually buy the screen and the deflector....... dont have to run a screen, but it is advisable.

This should help in your search....

Thanks again. Called local Husky dealer,gave them the part numbers for the deflector,screen & 2 of the screws.Should see them in about a week or so.$12 for the deflector,screen/screws another 2-3 bucks.I'm happy,or will be after I install them.

If you look at Ebay and CL, 372 prices (unless there ragged out) start with a 5 or a 6. You got a good deal.

Yeah, how toasted was that 660?

It was TOTALLED! He backed over it with his dually GMC (with a full aux. fuel tank in the bed)! All he saved of it was the bar and chain, he threw them in with the Husky deal.
