I don't think it's a MS.375 (as used by Clint Eastwood or a choc lolly), normally used for the MS460 variants, some can have twin port exhasts etc but not sure if that's standard as the output power is shown as the same.

 

From a topic a while ago on twin ports I fitted one to my 460, retuned the carb and lets say it feels more powerful.

Stihl USA uses the "Magnum" name for ALL the large forestry models, i.e. MS 441, MS 460, MS 660, MS 880. No additional power, purely a marketing trick.

No you are wrong there is a big difference between a 044 and a 044 magnum I have used them and I have seen the factory specs .

 

The MS 044 has not been part of the Sthl range since 1999 (afaik)

 

I doubt you can:

  1. Show me a comparison of Magnum vs non-Magnum specifications of a current pro saw model (e.g. MS 441)
  2. Show me an example (on stihlusa.com) of a non-Magnum version of a large pro saw

 

The "Magnum" term used to mean "increased performance", but that is history.

 

Glad to be proven vrong, though ;)
