    Any vids with the best muff mod out there?

    That thing sounded mean!! :dex:

    Nice gains Brad. That's a runner!

    Did you make the new port in the front cover? I have a pretty good idea on how I will be doing mine.

    The vid above is with the most open mod I've done. The only draw back is how loud it is. I put several louvers directly in front of the exhaust port.

    I've bought a new cover and will be trying something different, a little quieter hopefully.

    What are you thinking of doing with yours?

    I was going to make a large hole where the front square part is I'm the front cover.

    It's going to be loud, but the bigger outlet (no cover) seemed effective.

    I will make something to hold a screen over the front (mig something up on the bottom and sides. So I can slide the screen in from the top).

    Oh no. More saw builders infecting this site with BS advertizing hype. Its turning into another ArborShyte here!

    Coming next will be builder flame wars over types of engine modifications.

    Respectfully disagree with you Sir... How can you not like seeing those chips flying? :dex: The atmosphere is totally different that of A.S. I know quite of few of us over here are interested in this stuff. And far as wars? Ummmmm, we pretty much monitor ourselves, when we dont Daddy comes in and wacks us over the head and tells us to knock it off...:rofl: :lol:... In Jethro Gibs style.... I haven't had a saw done by him yet, but the monkey has done all but two of my saws and Mikes will have done the two others. That only leaves me with one untouched saw. Still trying to figure out where and what I'm going to do it yet. With all things Moderation is the key, as long as dont go poking the hornets nest....:handshake:
