Got the strait shot for my 400 , but was to loud to work all day ! Closed the hole in with a washer welded in back where the screen was , now the hole is half the size and bearable to run.
No need to use any thread locker? Have you checked since install to see if they have backed out all? Appreciate the vid bro. I am kicking around this muff or a wcs.
Being a firewood cutter only by the trailer size 4×6 foot , do u think a 362 Sthilsaw is sufficient even coming across some big logs on the ground at times which I don't like leaving behind ?? Or should I opt for the 400 saw ?? Please advise, I thank you in advance Gunter
Does pointing the exhaust at the chain and oiling port heat things up?A hot chain wears faster and heated oil is gonna flow faster. What about a full wrap handle bar, is it gonna heat that up too ?
I just took a dremal and almost doubled my 362c exhaust sounds great and runs much better. I have a full wrap handle. You can take the screen out to open the port then put it back in.
I bought one for my 500i and removed it pretty quickly. For one it's too loud for working 8 hours a day every day even with hearing protection, it seemed to up horsepower but it hurts the torque since it loses a lot of backpressure and it was a fire hazard, every time i went to cut a tree with moss on it the moss would start to smoulder after a few seconds
@@ChainsawFarmer1 In a perfect cut with just the right conditions it probably does, but in a real life scenario with so many variables in a non controlled environment, i think the stock muffler is superior
@@zombiefighterof1987 I had the opposite experience with mine after about 2 months with it on. I can tell there's more HP and torque. Strange you and I had different experiences. In fact, I think this is the only negative experience that I've heard of with an Egan.
@@ChainsawFarmer1 My 500i definitely felt like it didn't have quite as much grunt, the main reason i took it off was because of the noise, it's too loud for 8 hours a day 6 days a week and it's also quite a fire hazard, it burnt moss on trees when cutting
I’m not a fan of those muffler covers. A well done mod on a stock muffler will give you a noticeable boost in performance. Those flat covers reduce the internal volume of the muffler which I don’t like. Stihl can afford the best engineers in the world I’d trust them over some random guy making overly loud muffler covers.
Oem products have to meet a whole host of requirements. Maximum performance being towards the bottom of the list. There's always room for improvement over the compromises built into oem stuff. As you have admitted yourself with the muffler mod concept. Dyno numbers don't lie. Egan ss is top of the market.
@@jeepinass a well done muffler mod will yield a noticeable boost in performance without being overly loud. Those muffler covers look like shit and are way too loud. The engineers that design these engines, mufflers, etc aren’t stupid. The internal volume of the muffler matters. If you wanna spend your money on one of those covers be my guest. Not for me.
@@jeepinass I could care less about what the dyno says. I’ll put my modded factory muffler up against a straight shot or bark box any time. Mite make SLIGHTLY less power. And it will look better. Your entitled to your tool bag opinion as well.
A well done muffler mod will indeed give a boost in performance but a muffler mod ALONG WITH a barkbox on the front will flow even better and run cooler then the muffler mod alone. As far as expansion chamber volume is concerned with the flat cover if the internal muffler baffle is removed then it gains an additional inch or so of volume which makes up for the loss due to a flat cover in my engineering minds opinion.

Pretty neat sounds good also I believe the 2 screws were for inside the muffler which holds it onto the cylinder head
Put my straight shot on my 362 yesterday haven't ran it on the tach yet. I have cut some wood though and the saw definitely feels stronger!
I just ordered some for my saws my neighbor got me hooked on them they really do improve overall performance
At least your neighbor is understanding, my got are they loud!

Have you tried ear muffs ?
That’s very noticeable! I just had my 362 ported now I’m gona get this exhaust . Put a nice skip tooth 3/8s on an love it
Do you plug off the stock exhaust hole. That would make two holes
I know it helped me
I got old till the screws came out. Please buy the t handle t27.
Good advice! 😂
Hello sur quel site tu achètes le silencieux ?
Jason Egan makes a nice product...I make my own...she sounds health now🤙🏻😎🪓
No need to use any thread locker? Have you checked since install to see if they have backed out all? Appreciate the vid bro. I am kicking around this muff or a wcs.
They haven't backed out. Still snugged up strong!
Also, I forgot to mention, that the screws do have blue locktite on them from Egan.
iam thinking about this for my 362cm.
I also like your "extra dogs ". have you had any problems "resetting" the carb?
None at all! I made a video on how to reset it. Check it out on my channel!
@@ChainsawFarmer1 How did you reset it? Link on the video.

Had the 400 been out when I bought this saw I would have gone with the 400. It’s lighter for basically the same horsepower.
How big are the exit holes in those covers ? They look massive!
Quite large. haha
They look big enough to loose bottom end tork. To big is not good. I’m no expert just my opinion.
Slightly bigger than a quarter ! That's why I closed mine up with a washer welded in the hole. Now it's about half the size hole

I have older MS 390 I bought in 2011 trying to find a straight shot for it but I can’t find it on the website. Do they make one for it?
Doesn't look like it, but you could message him via his contact page on his website at eganperformancsaws and he should get back with you on it.
@@ChainsawFarmer1 I’ll give it a shot lol thanks

Oh wow, very interesting. According to the dyno on Egan's website for the 400c both torque and hp increased. Very strange on the 500i.

@@zombiefighterof1987 Makes sense. It's definitely louder. My hearing protection works great against it though. To each their own I reckon!
Do you have to adjust the carb
Yes, you'll need to after installation.
Где можно купить такую насадку?
I do that
👍👏👏
Damn get that bit for a drill !
I know right...
Painful to watch to struggling with the screws

It gives it about an extra 0.5 kw/bhp and more torque.

Idk why your saw blew up, maybe holding it wide open that long….
It didn't blow up, it's running fine.

total waste of money and it's way to loud...
It's louder, but I wear muffs so it doesn't matter to me. I like the extra power personally. It's a good trade off.
@@ChainsawFarmer1 u get more power if u make the pipe right.
@@julianlaustsen1991 ok prove it, and does your said pipe have a spark screen and cost less than 70 dollars??
