    A couple shots of the MS441 mufflers, older non-Mtronic vs the current CM model.

    I will have more to come in the near future about these saws. ;)

    Based on what? I haven't decided my exact course of action yet. The OE 441 is a customer saw so anything done has to be neat and tidy, and I prefer to leave a screen in place if possible.

    There are other things in store for that saw too, and you guys will get to see it all come together. Here, have some :popcorn:.

    I was basing it on the old 80% rule.

    80% of the exhaust port area, yeah , I know, but you are a step ahead of me if you know what that is right off the top of your head. ;)

    There are other restrictions in this muffler, that exhaust screen is one, it's only so big.
