At least your neighbor is understanding, my got are they loud!

Have you tried ear muffs ?

Good advice! 😂

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.

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.

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 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.

For the 362 follow this guide: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p5acmMuUzqiUn6s.html

Yes, you'll need to after installation.

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

I know right...

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.

@@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

@@zombiefighterof1987 Makes sense. It's definitely louder. My hearing protection works great against it though. To each their own I reckon!

I do that

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

@@ChainsawFarmer1 köszönöm a választ. Követlek yutuen . Like🤝👍✌

It didn't blow up, it's running fine.

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.

@@eurokid83 well you're certainly entitled to your wrong opinion. As stated before, dyno numbers don't lie.

@@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.

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??

@@funkysawmanwright5077 why would u want a spark screen? I've always ran without one and no forest fires here...

@@julianlaustsen1991 required by local state and federal laws in Idaho. 3000 dollar fine if caught running without. And they do have law enforcement driving the mountain roads looking for loggers and firewood cutters that are non compliant
