WCS Has New Mufflers For The 2511+Other(s)

[lxskllr]

Says it makes your saw sound rowdy. I prefer mine to sound more sedate :^D I added a hole to my muffler, and while it isn't obnoxious, it doesn't sound as nice as stock.

Y'all think these things really work? I can't say my saw feels any more powerful after adding a hole. Assuming it is more powerful, if I can't feel it, does it make a difference? I can definitely hear that it's louder. I wonder how much of these things are 'sounds louder, must be more powerful'?

On a technical note, it's an interesting exhaust outlet position. Is there a reason they didn't take the obvious path of the hole at the bottom of the case?

If you think that isn't quite loud enough for you, there's a straightpipe available elsewhere...

There could be problems with an aluminum muffler loosening over time. I'd have made the muffler bigger.

Yeah, outlet position is kinda dumb, lots of exhaust blowing right in your face. I also agree that aluminum maybe isn't the best material for a chainsaw muffler.

Also also, if it doesn't have the proper spark arrestor screen, they'll crucify you in my area.

Trouble with the second one is it’ll burn holes in your trousers if you stow the saw.

Or your saw lanyard

i have no issues with that, but i rack it on the handle, much faster an it pretty much stays put, no flopping around.

Yeah same, on the handle.
Still happens.
At least to me, even burnt a little skin on my stomach.

Huh, Idk never had any issues like that and I use that saw I’d say 80% of the time, but i don’t climb full time usually just 1-2 times a week right now. I really like the Egan pipe on the 2511 tho, so much that I got one for my 261, boy was that a mistake 😂😂 I would feel bad using that thing on a job it’s so loud. It’s just sitting on a shelf now.

I should qualify, that isn’t using a properly modded exhaust, just me and a 1/2 inch drill getting medieval!

I prefer the chainsaw and its sharp teeth far away from me.
Having it stored by the handle put it directly in the way of the hand/arm during the climb. The idea bothered me at the beginning, but I tried this method anyway because why not. I discovered in less than one hour that my worry wasn't unfunded by getting a cut on my hand (despite being very aware of the saw's position). So, most of the time, my saw is dandling by its lanyard way under my feet. I store it at my hip only when I'm over a roof, a fence, some concrete, stones... groundie's head counts too.
