That’s perdy neat an to see that it worked is even neater . I never would have guessed that doing that would speed up a saw but then again I’m not very mechanically inclined . Great video Dick
Hi Phil. I ran the saw all afternoon and it just got better. It’s not running any faster in terms of rpm’s, but it has more “grunt” and doesn’t bog down. I was pleasantly surprised!
Thanks Heath. I’m sure your professional mods will look a lot better than my basic job. I’m amazed at the performance improvement. I ran it for a couple hours after I did the video and it rips!
Thanks for watching Brad. I’ve run that saw quite a bit since that video and I can’t believe how much it has woken up. Way better than I expected. See you soon my friend.
Thanks for watching iceman. I hope you’re subscribed! I was very surprised with the performance improvement… much more torque and less less bogging down.
Great video They make it harder and tricky on the 550xp to modify not like the STIHL saws barkbox and eagan straight shot muffler available just bolt on. I like the idea of modifying the muffler saw will run cooler and save cooking your saw I’m not too concerned about the performance . I will do the same with my 550xp mark 2 once the warranty expires.
Stihl’s 50cc pro saw muffler isn’t easy to mod either! You have to get creative. Doesn’t have a removable cover like the bigger saws. Screw warranty, it’s just a chainsaw haha! I cut into my $900 261cm after a month at most. Happy cuttting fellas. 🍻
Dick I’ve been seeing a lot about both the muffler mods and boring out the cylinder to make the saw run cooler. I’m still on the fence about doing any mods until my warranty expires on saws I’m cutting and bucking with. Thanks for sharing.👍TCT
Hey Dick. Great video as usual. My old Husqvarna 50 probably could not stand this mod but watching you was enjoyable. Closing in on 3K subscribers, i see. Keep up your good work.
Thanks David. I’ve been cutting with that saw this afternoon and I swear it has really woken up even more! I’m very pleased with the results. Hope you’re doing well my friend.
Interesting Dick, first time I watched a muffler mod. If it keeps the saw cooler it should last longer and a little more speed will never hurt. 👍Talk later. Terry
Your work bench sure is neater than mine😀. Nice video but naw, this old guy can’t keep up with a smaller stock saw😀much less a faster one 😨. Great content Dick. 👏🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
How's it been OGF? You could tell in the after mod clips the saw was pulling better. The open muffler will help move the heat out the cylinder too... You should get your 572 ported. I got mine done last summer and holy smokes that saw rips! I also take mine to the dealer every fall to make sure I'm running the latest firmware...
Thanks for watching Jason. I’ve been running that saw this afternoon and it seems to be waking up even more! I’m sure a real saw builder would laugh at my mod, but it really rips. Who do you recommend for a port job on the 572?
I’ve been really surprised with the difference it has made Bill. I’ve run it quite a bit since the video and it is really performing better than it did before.
Hi Jeff. Thanks for watching. I had the same thoughts and was kind of nervous trying it. I had watched several other videos and thought “I can do that”. I’m glad I tried it… the saw’s performance has really improved, and it was great before!
I think opening your deflecter would've given you another 10% it was pretty much push down over the exhaust port. If it's the same exhaust as my 565, the Spark arrestor (which I have removed) only covers the exhaust which is only a very small area . quite a ridiculous design and by removing the mesh gives you a larger opening. We don't have those nutty regulations in our country.
Thanks for watching! I'm amazed at the power improvement this mod made. I hear you on "nutty regulations"... total government control of our lives is the goal of the elite smh.
I beg to differ. I ran the saw a lot prior to the mod and have run it a lot after the mod. It definitely runs stronger. More torque and less bogging. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching Bert! It wasn’t pretty and it was really basic using the tools I had. The results are really good! I’ll have to look at the West Coast Saw kits.
