How to build a performance chainsaw muffler!

[@ibbylancaster8981]

This is the video I have been looking for!!! I want to do one for my 562 and 585. I have been a welder and fabricator but haven’t wanted to waste the time on something that’s not going be a waste of time. Been watching a bunch of Buckin’s videos and he’s aimed me towards you , Tinman, and Donnie Walker. Hope that you are doing well and thank you for all the information that you share with us. Much love from North Carolina 🤙🤙

[@robspruk2803]

Thanks to you and Cullen for your service, and thanks for sharing the muffler videos Harvey. Appreciate it 👍

[@michaelgill2937]

I followed your instructions on exhaust pipe it feels stronger and sounds cool. I used 1 5/16 inch chain link fence post.

[@matthewclarke7993]

Thanks for the blue prints on the exhaust Harvey greatly appreciated

[@josephgrant9137]

I just made that muffler for my Stihl MS661. She rips. Thanks Der Guy.

[@dirk_krueger_baumkrueger7612]

Hi Thank you for sharing your experience with us! I‘ll try my best to use the knowledge for my ECHO saws. I‘m absolutly new in this stuff, but your videos help me understand it. Best regards from Germany, Dirk

[@AnDrEw122100]

Hahaha buckin is a wild man . He’s a master at his craft that’s for sure , I love watching his channel . And you too sir , keep it up . Newfoundland canada here 🇨🇦

[@sparker2289]

I really appreciate the knowledge Ironhorse. If you ever feel like it could you make a video of you actually making one? That would be awesome.

[@finnleykaiden467]

you all prolly dont care but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me

[@salvatoreizaiah3511]

@Finnley Kaiden Instablaster ;)

[@finnleykaiden467]

@Salvatore Izaiah i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@finnleykaiden467]

@Salvatore Izaiah It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out !

[@salvatoreizaiah3511]

@Finnley Kaiden No problem xD

[@shelbyglazer3948]

Agree, would love to see a video of you making one. Happy Memorial day my friend! Love your channel

[@bobfitch607]

Harv thank you for the great muffler mid tips but thank you and Cullen both for your service along with all the rest of our great heroes. 🇱🇷🇱🇷

[@Finom1]

Great educational videos. We would love to see you in action during one of your builds making a muffler to increase horse power.. Then you could compare your design with Buckin's on the same saw in another video. This is becoming addictive.

[@daiprout323]

Great wisdom in your last words there Harvey. It's good to listen, and hear.

[@ScarryMarian2012]

OOOOOHH YEAAAH,there's some fiiiine info right before my eyes and all in my ears,i tried one muffler mod (and stick to that since 6 years and still counting) using the original muffler by simply drill another same size hole next to the existing one and add a angle cut pipe to divert gases same as the original one does,and drilled 4 holes of 6mm in each sides on the end of the divider inside the muffler,that leads to an allot better working beast (12kg of beast,with a 52CC displacement,chinesium stuff,with allot of fun,gotta love the backfires when rev down),allready powerful with that 45cm long bar+full chisel chain,better air flow inside the case (better vent of the muffler also) due faster rev up,faster throttle response,heavier loads better behave,linear engine working under and between loads,all the goodies,YET little peoples knows the downsides of the muffler modding...it is a bit louder,from 93db to 98db (mine is little to notice due the better inner harmonics of the exhaust flow trough the muffler),a friend of mine made almost same mod but from 96db went to 109db wich is pretty bad considering the long therm operating that thing...don't mind the 10%-15% extra fuel consumption...power doesn't come alone...it comes with a price,aaaand...the carbon build up in the exhaust port is quite substantial....in 100 hours of work time...it's choking the port with at least 10% of the flow due the walls deposit of carbon...that is naaasty....but if you clean that port every year if you are using that beast for all year framing or just everyday as a logger (allways take the cylinder off the body to avoid future severe engine damage),still the framing guys do allot of abuse...they almost never warm up the engine...and that exhaust port choke even faster than within 1 year...otherways...that seems to be a very good ballance for me from a no brand chainsaw...better performance,less vibrations (wich often leads to severe damage on the body suspensions),lessen the sound impact despite that is actually louder by measure but due the frequency upped,to a more human comfortable margins,especially when you cut fire wood as a side job for different locals within your area,they may have nightshift or kids or a bad hangover but still need to heat theyr houses,that is a priceless achievement for me,first blind attempt=best extra options ever ! I tried 3 other ideas,all failed horribly...meanwhile,mi best wishes from Romania,IRONHOUSE,i hope you will eventually read this comment of mine,a piece of my life in here,cheers !!!

[@banann64]

Hello Ironhorse 👋🏼 garden is lookin great!. Got mine just about finished. Hope y’all are well , stay well & be happy 😃. God bless!🙏🏽❤️

[@yrdGBA]

Doing a little muffler mod on my old Echo 452VL. Love the channel!

[@Jthumper]

coming from a 2 stroke dirt bike guy, YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF! Getting a saw "on the Pipe" is the key! my stock MS361 buggs me with every cut- its never on the pipe.

[@tjlovesrachel]

Because there is no pipe stock lollll

[@danielh4995]

I really like that initial muffler design, I will have to do some experimenting on some of my larger saws with one of those. I would bet as small of a displacement that chainsaws are relative to that exhaust volume that you could get some tuned pipe like qualities out of that design. If you do get a reflected wave of some sort it should still lead to some stuffing. Probably not as much as a full pipe but better than an open box on the end.

[@user-om5os7hk5g]

Good day sir!! Been watching you, tinman and buckin billy for a bit now. Love you guys!! I have a 455 rancher and I'm wanting to do a muffler mod. Wondering what diameter of pipes I'd need

[@1944chevytruck]

Hi guys!...garden lookin good! good info on mufflers!....BUCKINATOR!... thanks for video. be kind.

[@richardpopkins891]

I've been watching it for the last couple weeks I didn't know anything about two-stroke oh I know you go get power and ice creamed motors I work on Normandy has valves if your help I'm learning how to cycle works I'm going to try that new muffler you have my sauce more down like 58 CC chainsaws that's all I can afford in the last couple years they do pretty good for me my son brought me a 290 still over I'm going to put 390 Brock in it Bill one of them mini muffins you got 390 and to make it run better I live in timberville Virginia I don't see too many use saws around my area so thank you for helping me out and I'll keep watching and maybe I can understand all this stuff one day thank you a whole lot

[@307j.o.a.t9]

Cant wait to see what Buckins idea for a muffler mod is!!! Thanks for all the info you just covered!! Im getting after a mod soon!! Appreciate all the info!! STAY SAFE friend!!

[@flakey7832]

Never even used a chainsaw in my life but I'm addicted to this guy's videos. Lots of knowledge

[@justinweaver8787]

Thank u sir for ur service as well. Nice to have medical training. Thank you for all you do.

[@williamdeberry3232]

Thanks you all that have served . thanks you iron horse.

[@timjohnson780]

I def will be fabbing one of these up on my 660 with the base gasket delete. Love the video's keep the content coming.

[@georgehill99]

I like your greenhouse and the narrative aboutmufflers

[@magicponyrides]

Came for the muffler tips, stayed for the wholesome plant content.

[@adammosher5818]

I watched bucking Billy ray and seen the muffler you make it sound good and definitely gave it more power hope I can do the same

[@frankhopper6269]

that greenhouse is coming up just dame great and your mufflers are top stuff.

[@eliwhitman2201]

Thanks so much for this video it really helped out

[@Hammerandhilt]

Cheers for the info Ironhorse, came across your channel through Buckin. Have a Mac 1010 that is missing a muffler and will give this a try 👍

[@DaveyBlue32]

The big trick with ribs is to take your butter knife and rib off all that silver skin that’s across their back side!👍😁. That really makes their cook times faster! I’m definitely a fan of the marinade and rub down of anything that’s going over the fire! Enjoy your day!

[@donfrance3]

you inspired me to build one and get a bit more performance

[@jordenbook1276]

Hope to see you back on here soon, get well buddy!

[@philbremenkamp7158]

I make my own rub and it's never exactly the same but the one thing I don't use is sugar salt, pepper, garlic and chilli are usually all that I use for beef pork will get some cinnamon and nutmeg added to the mix and I never use sauce . We in the western part of Kansas tend to prefer to serve the sauce on the side

[@stihltheman]

Crazy idea, I love it! Going to go find a junk muffler and play!

[@Finom1]

God Bless and Protect you and your family!!! Bless you for sharing your wisdom with us!!!

[@marcduclos9789]

Tuesdays am. hi ho hi ho its off to work I go. Good to listen to you before I go back to the brick pile. I have a crew repairing the old Cooperage in Freemont NH. We use a new 70cc Stihl chop saw.

[@user-vl8ex8fe9v]

Iron Horse you are true America. I enjoy watching. Stay cool Bro....Tony V

[@daphlavor]

I made ribs today too! Rub is key for sure, sweet needs heat, cayenne pepper. Taught my son how to set up the pit. Thanks to all service personnel, we salute you 🇺🇸🦅

[@IRONHORSE427RACING]

No offense to Rib Rub Guys.. But you ain't had Rib's till you had you some Kansas City Missouri Ribs from Carl's Rib Shack in the Parking lot of Walmart at Sedalia Missouri....ohhh myyyy it's soooo good.

[@marctrossbach6560]

Thanks boss, appreciate the information

[@travis506]

Gardening chainsaws and BBQ all in one post! Doesn’t get any better than that!

[@chainsawredeemer85]

Here's my fuckin garden neighbors, now that I've Shown you that awesome practical chit, let me show you this awesome, rad and badass muffler chit!!!

[@Woodchucker.kaleb.w]

I have an old echo 302. Everything runs good for about five minutes and then it runs right into the ground. I pull the gas cap and the gas is boiling in the tank. Any ideas?

[@paytonmac5665]

Ty Harvy good info on the muffler.

[@jeramiahshaffer8414]

Thanks Ironhorse it’s awesome love that you and Buckin are always “ mad scientists ideas” keep it up be safe be Kind God bless

[@drewdouglas4883]

Great stuff Harvey That dual port muffler looks like a buckshot one that the chainsaw guy on the west coast has

[@chrisjacobs2182]

Really enjoy watching your videos and appreciate your wealth of knowledge!! Thanks for sharing

[@brandonkiesser8271]

First video I've seen of yours. Love it I'm here because of buckin b r. Axe of kindness. So the idea of horsepower from a saw I'm very interested in. Unfortunately I lack a large quantity of necessities. Shop, verius powertools and yes even the education. However. I believe I could follow these directions given equal opportunity. By the way I am an honorable discharge service member. Thanks for recognizing folks.

[@nathanbroomfield4953]

God love you ironhorse! You’re gold. If I ever know half of what you know I will be a smart man!

[@willquinn2754]

What’s up man. I could use some advice. I ported my 201tc. Transfer ports on piston and jug. Intake and exhaust port with exhaust mod. I’m getting incredible power and trigger response. It it’s not staying at an idle. I think the carb cannot pick up the difference In airflow. I hate these mtronic carbs. Would advancing the timing fix the solution.

[@kfranklin308]

Do you sell these performance mufflers? Do you modify peoples mufflers for them?

[@twistedkidmotorsports9093]

New subscriber I live in New York, and I need a real muffler for my 372 XP

[@deaniverson4671]

Thank you Harvey and Cullen.

[@ronbeckett67]

After watching this i took your advice and knowledge and quite happy with the results… i left an inch in and an inch out and closed the top port… used an old shower curtain rod and may i add she’s definitely a leaf blower now

[@wraithworks1]

Thank you, being former military I appreciate you so much. Will your pipe design work in a Husky 455

[@ronsilva516]

Ike muffler idea can’t wait to see the next one you make from bucking billy see which one works best keep it going . Hay the next port job can you take a sharpe or a magic marker and shade the area where your going to remove martial from and get your son to do close up of the milling

[@SOHN32]

Another way get those ribs soft . Boil them first for abt 15mins. Then put on the grill. You have watch you don't pull the bones out the meat.

[@AlphaNerd132]

I never thought about my exaughst being a reason for my old chainsaw (80s eager beaver) to be overheating. I might play with the back pressure and see if I can cut down on the heat.

[@robertmillier1]

Pleased to have found this channel this evening! You definitely earned a subscriber

[@somethinburnin]

After seeing this, I may try that "Tune Pipe" design on my 1988 Echo CS6700 that tends to hold too much heat on the exhaust side.

[@aldredske6197]

Hi Hi Harvey and Cullen!!😀😀 It's funny!! We had BBQ ribs for dinner also. My wife put them in the slow cooker early this morning and by 5 PM they just melted in your mouth!! Take care my friends!!😀😀

[@tinmanssaws]

2 things, 1 could eat ribs with Canadian rub every day! 2 I need to try a pipe on my builds. Im curious to see.

[@benbradshawjr2856]

I learn alot from your channel

[@timbarden4578]

Howdy boys.happy memorial day. Be safe keep in touch.when u think it's safe do some cutting i have jobs with easy ground to work on.

[@michaelcarrier8564]

I have been waiting for this video. Thanks harv

[@timberray9572]

Hi Harv, I was wondering if you could give any pointers on mildly modifying a stock muffler just to make the saw a little snappier. I have two saws that I removed the baffle and expanded the exhaust port, one I got just right but the other one I think I went just a little too far. Thanks.

[@robertdouglas3456]

Hello Ironhorse!. Happy Memorial day to You & Your Family!.. Loved the video!.. ♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸

[@skippyjones2077]

Hey Harvey thanks for sharing Thank you for your service have a great day 👍❤️

[@CFairNH]

Garden looking good! Thanks for the muffler lesson. Do those designs work on a fuel injection saw. MS 462??

[@boomerblevins4979]

You ever ported a Echo cs620p? Really would like to see you do it, I think they’re a really overlooked saw. Really enjoy all the information you are giving!!

[@DylanDyck]

Thanks for the video I’m going to make one of these for my holzfforma g388

[@american0153]

A tuned pipe off of eBay that matches the dimensions of the exhaust port would work great.

[@Finom1]

IRONHORSE, this is off topic. What do you use to clean and polish the plastic on a chainsaw? I found these two products, what do you think? 1. Maxima 78920 SC1 High Gloss Coating 2. SHINE ARMOR Fortify Quick Coat - Ceramic Coating Thank you, I have learned so much from you.

[@jeffreyrubish347]

I would think, although I've not tried it, that auto spray wax/detailer would work. I've used Regular Turtle Wax which does well, too.

[@pm270100]

hard stuff to make look nice get it clean but never looking new

[@orangeshaw2370]

Do like the forensic police looking for fingerprints. Fine spray of superglue. First clean with weak solution of acetone, dab with (Husqvarna-Echo orange/STIHL grey/Makita blue/Dolmar red) paint soaked earbud. Precautions : Acetone dries out the plastic ie.Not good for hardhats. Allow paint & cyanoacrylate to dry in dust free zone

[@kevinpilkington6527]

Hey Harvey, lol...where in Tn did you find a sweet rib rub....I make kinda warm spice with a little saline tint to it touched off with lime and a little lemon splashed in a mix including a little TN whiskey for a later glazin' sweep...of coarse, Memphis and Bar BQ ain't never much been related...rofl.. Fine vid Harv, Many Blessings, Kev

[@theironhorse6600]

[@AdvancedLawn]

Iron horse PLEASE talk about the pulan wild thing 40-42 cc and how we can get some horses out of that. I hear stihl used their technology on their newer saws

That's a nice little green house garden.

[@mattm9621]

Hey great info brother I'm getting a 462 and I'm going to take your advice. I'm a journeyman welder by trade so I'll go for style points with your wisdom. Couple of questions. Do you worry about spark arrestor screen? in your years of logging and running saws have you ever seen a fire from a saw?. I harvest on public land and cut in summer so I kinds need one. I'm thinking if I put screen in there maybe make the holes bigger to compensate for the restriction.

[@kostasfanourakis8619]

Hello iron horse I have the echo smaller saw what maffer I can fix to have more horsepower??!!thx for the videos you're the best my friend!!!

[@ThePete1891]

I sweat from just sitting there as well. I can go from fit looking to fat in 3 days. Just fill right up with water. Have you had your heart checked? Mine turned into a valve replacement, and pacer at 40year old. Have you spoken with your dr about the sweating? Not trying to be nosy. Just somthing I notice. I still get on a roof everyday. Thank you for the video.

[@kennytoler6485]

Hey Ironhorse. Love the video. Lots of info. Do you work on saws for public? I have a couple saws that need to be twicked.

[@timberzach1324]

Thank you Ironhorse very good video

[@ifitflipsitships5102]

ooh i got some ideas for a new idea of a expansion chamber and one other little trick i been thinking about.

[@dennisrobinette7397]

How much would you charge for a ported muffler for my 572 Xp? Or to build me a Buckin Billyray dual pipe muffler for my 572xp and an ironhoarse sticker for the side cover lol

[@MrColtnutz]

You can get a dual ported on ebay for $60 to 80. Dual port is two 3/4" ports.

[@dwaynemadsen964]

I don't know if you noticed, but at 3:21 when you adjusted your lamp, someone stole your smokes!

[@nathanwest2304]

nice video would this be worth it for an MS660 with a big bore? I would just weld the pipe on the rear part of the muffler since it would be supported better that way what size should I use?

[@Saw_Squatch]

Gotta hear that pipe doing some running and cutting, maybe even show us that leaf blower action

[@victoryfirst2878]

Would you prefer to use Stainless over regular steel ??? Thanks VF

[@SonOfLiberty1984]

Hey, Harvey! Are those stock mufflers for the huskys welded together? How to you get them to come apart at the seem? I'd be interested in buying one of your.pipes for my 266 if you interested in selling one. I put the meteor big bore P&C on it and I believe it is now holding too much heat with the stock muffler.

[@DaveyBlue32]

Can’t wait till spring to start my garden

[@chamness964]

There is a warranty still on my ms271. But I do wanna build a muffler like that for that saw. And then I got a 32cc Tanaka trim saw I take up into the tree with me that I wanna build a muffler for that too.

[@ThompsonJosh98]

Thinking about doing the same dimensions of pipe as he stated? I got the same saw and am thinking about it

[@StumpjumperVideosPA]

that green house is the cats meow harv !!! boy next season you could prob get two crops !! hope y, all are find !

[@MiloTheHusky]

How does the muffler keep dirts and chips out
