what you guys are working on shows how restricted these saws are coming from the factory. the question is do the manufacturers do it on purpose? or are they to ignorant to know the difference? or is it a EPA issue? either way i think you guys stumbled onto a very lucrative idea. since mankind got anything motorized the urge to customise had be vast, everyone wants to go faster, cut quicker, you know the drill. peace be with yous
Based on my experience with 2-stroke bikes, it should be very similar IF the cooling is still adequate. There's going to be more heat made due to the increased horsepower. Depending on how restrictive the stock muffler is, sometimes that can be offset by the freer flowing exhaust. I have an old 1967 Kawasaki with a pipe like this, and it's still drum-tight on the stock rings. I can and do hold the throttle wide open without rest going up long hills in top gear. But not every engine and pipe combo will be happy doing that. My Kawasaki came with a pretty restrictive and hot-running stock pipe, and very good cylinder cooling. Something that cane with marginal fins but a relatively free exhaust might see trouble with a pipe. If the pipe and/or porting causes the engine to get run at a faster RPM, that will shorten the life of the piston and rings for sure.
This video sold me! Thanks!
That son’b layed them chips down quicker than the last gal at the brothel down the street! Impressive!
It sure does, it also cost ALOT more. I’ll just stick to approximate resonance in a production pipe. But I’m only messing around at GTG’s.
Looks like you guys are having a lot of fun out there guys are making me jealous!!! Know I got to go play

Epa 100%
I was there stock vs stock with pipe big difference. Then there is the hot rod saw with pipe it was fun running
Look at it just CHUCK those chips! Get me on the order list!
When and where can these pipes be purchased at?
That's more than just a pipe difference....
These are bada$$ I have one on my 372xp big bore pop up piston with a base gasket delete and it's a ripper
Want one for my homelite!!
Will you be making pipes for the 046, 460, 461 and 462 saws?
Does the saw have a shorter piston change interval with this mod?

WHY?
Are you going on "feel" only?
On the Dyno, the pipe will more than double the power. Not exactly beneficial for tree pruning but saves a ton of time on the big stuff.
Is this pipe tuned for a stock 372xp or can it be used on a heavily ported cylinder?
Tuned for stock. We do build pipes for ported saws. They are tuned for higher rpm among other things.
holy shit :D

I got 36 seconds vs 15 seconds
