MS261C -M Muffler Mod ?

[Hatchville Homesteader]

Use a rotary tool and remove the area behind the screw holding the spark arrestor. This leaves one exhaust opening and roughy 80%-85% of the exhaust intake for adequate back pressure. I wouldn’t introduce fins on the front unless you like hot exhaust gases shooting towards your face.

This is the reason some loggers don’t enjoy the WCS bark box.

…and yes - that’s a wrap handle on a 261c

I have a new 261 carb model, is there more information on muffler mods now? Does Stihl offer the wrap handle, I gotta have that too
