My Muffler Mod :)

[HandyAndy]

Hi all,

I don't post much on here, more of a reader, but thought id share the muffler mod I just did on my old 039.

I know it's probably not of much interest to most, but when I was trying to search for pictures to give me ideas on what I could do, I struggled to find any. So I thought by posting this it might give some help to anyone else who wants to do a mod on the 029 or 039.

Basically I didn't really want to do the standard opening up of stock holes, so the welder came out

The pics say it all really;

 

 

 

 

I think the saw sounds really good now and I feel it's given her a bit more umph!

 

I gave the saw to richard (GTR) for a tune up after it was done and he's done a spot on job. Seems to be running better than it ever has! (Thanks again Rich)

 

Anyways, hope this may be of help to someone one day lol

Andy.

No problem Andy.

 

By the way I love the mod and the noise is just music to my ears. The mod looks much much more impressive in person than in the picture.

 

Nice to know its running sweet. Was a lovely saw and has plenty of power.

Thanks for the comments

Still undecided weather to cut the end of the pipe back at an angle or not?

My mate liked it so much he wants me to do his 346 and 372 next lol

That's a lovely weld there, I would say cut it at an angle, make it look better

That is some really tidy metal work.

Looking very tidy there. Nice finish.

 

Just curious, but did you leave the baffles in as they're still visible in first pic?

Nice metal work!
