    I picked up a Husky 345 this weekend and the muffler is crushed in. My OCD will have me losing sleep if I don’t replace it. Looking at around $50 for OEM or about $12 to $15 for a generic. Spend the $$ on OEM or go with some Chinese made knockoff? Or, buy a ported performance muffler?
    Any and all suggestions appreciated as long as it’s not from anyone Irish.

    Not a huge deal to buy an aftermarket muff. I like the tube outlet style, like this:

    I have a cheap one from HL Supply; they seem to be built well enough.

    Should be tons of used ones lying around since it’s the same as a 350
