Now I'm trying to talk myself out of having someone woods port my 346xp. Not having much luck.
The thing that's holding me back is parting with the saw for that long...

I know that there is a ton of info out here on 550xp muffler mods, but I can't seem to find any reports of quantifiable improvements like timed cut comparison before and after the muffler mod. Lots of anecdotal evidence like "really woke up", etc., which sounds good, but doesn't really help me to decide if it is really worth the cost. By cost I mean extra noise, voided warranty, risk of stripped threads, shavings in the cylinder, etc. I know that these risks aren't high, but still a factor. Anyone know of any measured results?
Who is Alex? I'd be interested in having him maybe mod mine. Just don't want it crazy loud. My ms290 muffler mod was super loud.

The link u gave sent me to a thread about a 359 and 340. Didn't see him on there. Is he fairly close to oh?

What material are these 550xp mk2 mufflers made of? Aluminum? Thanks for the help.In regards to the 550, I think we've found that a gutting will only make it louder, but some others may input on this.
The 562 will sound like a nitro burner. :msp_thumbsup:
There's tons of proof on youtube that making a 550xp louder via a muffler mod makes it faster and run cooler. I've also seen and done it in person to my buddys 550.I have that saw. I have a bunch of saws. No one has proved a louder saw has more power. Small engines run on air speed not volume. A lot of them will not even run without the intake air filter installed. To make sense no more air in same air out. To gut a muffler with no more air coming in does nothing.
Your assuming alot, which just isn't true.I have that saw. I have a bunch of saws. No one has proved a louder saw has more power. Small engines run on air speed not volume.
