I just got me a new Stihl 201T-C with M-tronic...

I understand, so I do......

[Stubby]

A very concise and honest review and the saw seems to be what it should be now , the motor of a 540 with the robustness of the Stihl ........to be sure

[MattyF]

Sounds more promising for sure.

Wonder how it will do with an exhaust mod...

The Devil makes work for idle hands to do:sneaky2:

Ahh yeah

BTW, I was thinking aloud because the muffler mod on an MS261 is the single biggest difference you can make with one(assuming you are willing to remove the baffle for it). I am curious to see how it affects the 201.

So am I!

 

But, as much as I am all for a bit of modding, tuning and removing bits that normally "shouldn't" be removed, I have had this saw for only 3 days, and its got warranty on it, so I dont think the boss would be too impressed if i fiddled with it as much as I did with my 200t...

(He looked at my 200t after I had been "at" it and said "what on earth did you do?!". My reply: "I improved it because it aint as good as it was. So quit complaining, or get me a new saw". Both worked) :thumbup:

Do you not have a drilled exhaust and side plate off the older 201 you could try?

I drilled my 200t, i never had a 201 long enough to tune up, I gave it to one of the lads very quickly. And the other lads that have an older 201 have said themselves that they are too wimpish to drill/tune theirs. So, no, I dont have one....
