460 dp muffler to 461 double check

From what I gathered in the thread I started about the 461, a 460 DP muffler will bolt on to a 461...correct? Or is the DP muffler cover itself bolt on only, with the 460 muffler exhaust port on the muffler can being a bit different in size?

 

Just need the cover from a 460

 

Ok, seems like its not much more for the whole muffler on fleabay so it had me thinking...thanks. The packer hangover is almost gone...

 

I should have clarified, the muffler half that bolts to the cylinder are not the same. The covers are interchangeable though.


Yea the Packers....ugh hah

 

Looks like a Raisman branded 460 DP cover goes for about $9-$10...this seem legit?

Ok, thats what i gathered from the old thread.

 

They are ok. I have a Hyway branded one and another no name aftermarket DP cover. The spot welds on both failed. The sheet metal guarding around the outside of the muffler half may eventually fall off. It doesn't affect anything in my opinion.

One fit the oem muffler great, the other no so great haha. For less than 20 dollars it's hard to go wrong.

 

Ya, looked a bailey's and there NWP branded covers are out of stock until March I believe...but for $10 I think I'll give it a shot

 

Should be fine. The Stihl cover is probably the most durable one but the price is probably up there.

 

I got a HyWay cover from what's that ebay guy??? Something supply .....HLS thats it.

For my 660/650 works fine its a cover with a hole in it. Pretty darn simple.

Dont over think it. The $14 or whatever I have in it it was better than the $30-50 stihl one.

 

Good point...i'll see what they're about here soon

 

Picked up a 461 this morning at the dealer and headed out to the woods. I managed to put about 1 tank through her cutting cookies of various sizes...dang what a great saw...for me it's pretty awesome when you can hear the air being sucked into the carb when you hit the throttle...this is no 50cc engine here

 

Forgot the pic...

 

Sounds like we won't be getting that smile off your face anytime soon. Enjoy the beast!

 

Very nice saw,I really like mine.

 

Sweet!

 

No kidding....alot of jack but i tell ya made in germany is a force to be reckoned with

 

Granted, Stihls are pricey but they are well built and will last a long time if taken care of. Enjoy that Sob

 

I thought they were made in like Tennessee? Or are the pro saws made over there and all we make are the wimpy and boat anchor saws over here like the 170 and 290?

 

If the serial # starts with 1, it's german
