    Did you try a muffler model? Super easy and really wakes it up.

    I didn't. I'm not really into wrenching anymore.
    Guess I should get some work done to it...

    Is that ever a bad idea? I've got access to the diagnostic equipment and software if ever needed.

    Thanks, Mike!
    I would like to run that ported 461. I ran Scotty's but it wasn't ported.

    Mine is not the CM.
    I gotta admit, I really don't want to be turning screws, I just wanna make firewood.
    I bought the saw brand spanking used and got a screaming deal. Otherwise I'da bought the CM...

    Some of you guys have 1st and 2nd gen 362s. A brand new 362CM is going to be even lighter and stronger.
