MS441 R C-M M-Tronic Review and Mods

[CR500]

If your worried about warranty then another muff is a good idea,they do like a muff modd for sure. As said above with the calibration requirements zero resistance on the crank is what is required.
There is afew different ways to modd theses muffs but this is what i found to work well.

Can still put the screen back in this one

This is the go for a ported one

Notice the heat difference the top saw is ported and muff modd from new,bottom saw stock everything.

I'm telling you Andrew... if you want those to shine like new, you need to put a little of this stuff on there. Just follow the steps, I did it on mine and it took it back to factory shine!!!

What do you know about 441s? Ever run one?

thanks Stihlman and nice pics...

now if I just had another muffler to play with... I like the first pic even if I can live with out the spark screen. I really like the sound of a MM, even if the power may not really be needed. my muff modded 290 sounds better than the 441! I will do the calibration tomorrow and see what happens before I cut...the manual didn't mention it. The manual also didn't mention how to do a muffler mod either though...Thanks again and I'll let you know after I calibrate, for anyone who's interested.

Just thought I would add this link since it is a minor but convient mod I made to my ms441 r-cm such that it now has captive bar nuts. Note I switched the handle to a half wrap also.
