Chainsaw Muffler shoot out, Bolt on performance

[@briano3128]

Thanks!

[@ecstans07]

It’s a good idea to keep the heat shield on there. Not necessarily because of the heat coming off the muffler but because it helps keep the cooling air flowing over the fins on the cylinder properly.

[@pureblood324]

I love watching professionals run their saw you learn so much about proper technique and safety he does the same thing every time all the time smooth and direct inefficient. So thanks today's black and Bill two lessons for every video that you do when you're on the saw.

[@BrianDoherty-e8s]

He is not cutting safely. Wearing no protective gear at all. He just shows us his straight- through, wide-open muffler and then cranks it open with no hearing protection. What? What? He sets a terrible example in front of over half a million subscribers.

[@donsmith3314]

Thank you! That answered 1 of a couple of million questions i've had about why folks change their saws! I've seen your variety of mufflers, but always thought it was associated with porting them, rather than just an improvement right away with only a muffler! Once again, thank you good sir! Love to all from Northern Alberta!

[@antoniomorgado5304]

Oh yeah! Crazy performance mufflers!Since i did my berclaw style stainless steel muffler for my 372 oh dear lord the saw became a monster!!!!!!!

[@blainstenberg2806]

The interesting thing with 2 stroke dirt bikes and pipes and muffler is the amount of charge in where the power is. Lower mid range or top end rev just by changing the shape and length and even the thickness of the tubing can change the power but the length of the header portion (first out of the cylinder ) makes big difference in the low end torque

[@HYDETREEWORKS]

As a motorcycle mechanic it's nice seeing other people understanding it. The pipe really Is a musical instrument that operates off sound waves. When you mentioned thickness you are changing sound.

[@patthesoundguy]

Something else interesting is when you enter the information into an online pipe building calculator it asks for the size and length of the ports and takes that into account. That may be why a particular pipe design works differently than another on a ported saw or non ported saw.

[@sgg8970]

Love your videos but really love your messages and what you stand for Sir! Really enjoyable and I love learning all I can! You have great knowledge and your methods and opinions are truly perfect! Thank you for putting these out.

[@supercuda1950]

New to your channel... a refreshing change of pace, love your accent, love your trucks, love your chainsaws, love your love of life. Some would say your mufflers don't work (need to use an expansion chamber) but your experience tells me you would be right and the ney sayers would be wrong. Besides, these are working saws and there is no room for an expansion chamber without giving up the versatility of the saw. I love your saw rack and I love thst you stick to the basics when sawing!

One of the best comparison vids yet. Iron Horse's muff. really flows. I don't think the exhaust has to slow down to change direction. It just swirls around and out. It would be nice to see if it had vanes, like screw threads to direct it so the flow would just follow the path right out. Happy 4th to the BBR, Army.

If you want a noticable difference put a velocity stack on the carb. Paired with the pipe, that saw would pull chain no matter what grind you put on it. Love the content BUCKIN. Keep on keepin on.

Buckin' Billy Brappin! Love this video, hopefully you'll do another shootout with different pipes soon!

[@patthesoundguy]

The length of the header has a lot to do with where the pipe hits its torque. Back in my scooter tuning days I noticed that a longer header would come on later in RPM and a shorter one would be earlier.

[@Im_Old_Gregg]

What you need is a tuned pipe like a miniature version of one on a 2 stroke dirtbike.

Hey Buckin’ just wanted to let you know that I’m about to embark on my first voyage in building a pipe for my 372. I like the designs of pipes you have here and I’m sure mine will be similar. Just bought the material I’ll need yesterday. Will send you a link to the results. Thanks brother

👏🏻 been binging your videos on Halloween for the first time and loving it . I’m 39 with 20 years diesel ,auto and industrial truck mechanic , fabricator , welder and body man . I worked for asplundh tree company for 6 months once on mechanic hiatus , absolutely hated it , but I learned to properly fell trees . Ever since I’ve been obsessed with it as a hobby . Recently inherited my gramps old 90’s model Poulans and rebuilt the 2000 and got it running and the 2300cva which got me so high ! Now all my buddies brought me there Husq’s and you’ve handed me a great deal of wisdom 🫡 . Actually considering buying a farm Mac 380 , I know some may slam me for it but I can drop 1000$ on a pro grade 🤷🏻‍♂️ . Anyway , loving your videos sir , thanks for the knowledge !

[@keithfarmer4854]

Buckin, can we see the tuning process going from stock muffler to a modified muffler? Do you need to adjust the low jet?

[@nick4506]

With math you can make the perfect pipe for makeing power. The distance between the piston in the cilender and a wall for pulces to hit should be half the distance sound travels between pulces at the rpm you are targeting. There is no art to makeing power, only science.

[@kennytheguitarfanatic054]

Buckin awesome video I just built a muffler for my husky 372 I built that saw like your husky 371. The pipe I made is something like the ironhorse muffler but with my own design different lengths and angles I used iron pipe. It woke the saw up but the H-jet is super rich for break-in . Buckin you are right the exhaust swirls in the pipe if it is right I see carbon marks in side COOL stuff.

[@GarfieldCunningham-t6z]

Good day Billy, love your content. What's the dimensions of those mufflers?

[@phillipparker8947]

The reason the saw runs better with the exhaust pointed to the side is because most any engine needs a little back pressure, a tiny bit of resistance. Like a car needing a muffler, it adds a bit of resistance

[@DaveW74TVN]

NO!
