Now that I don't cut professionally, I run stock and like a quieter saw, even though I do wear hearing protection. As a professional the percentages you can improve by mods sometimes keeps you in business.

My stock 562 is as loud as my modded 346, so you guessed it no muffler mod for the 562. My modded 372 is now proudly wearing a block off plate for the muffler mod. These modded saws are just too loud to run all day. CJ

My modded 346xp is/was a lot loader than my stock 562xp?
But then I went and modded the 562 muff. Heck of a lot more noise and just a little gain... I think I'll put a stock muff back on the 562. I like quiet and smooth, sometimes...

A quicker saw sure can put more money in yer pocket.
But for me it's more of a time thing and I just enjoy runnin mean, nasty, fast saws!

When I had the 346 modded I specifically said I did not want it loud, so it got a 3/8" hole and I opened up the factory outlet. Worked good, improved the saw a bunch with only a little extra noise. CJ

Yeah, that'll make a difference. My second outlet is around 3/4" and the factory outlet is opened up. I don't really like the extra noise, but I do wear ear muffs when cuttin...

What I do not know about chainsaws would fill volumes and volumes...
Having said that, today I bought a flebay special, a Husky 445 . It seemed like a pretty good
deal at under $180.00 w/ FreeShippin'.
I am a big boy if I blewit please tell me!

CLICK HERE to see other pics is interested in what I grabbed.
I am going to be wanting one of those log debarking tools like a Log Wizard
some day (looking for a deal on one) and I figured if this saw is worth a darn it might make a good
candidate for the that tool.
I am also thinking I might be better off buying a rebuilt "something" from xyz123 or others
as well when I want another saw. (which is already...ha! )
Interesting how the videographer in the above link trash talks Poulan. Isn't "Poulan"
a subsidiary of Husqvarna?

Well, if it runs good and does what you need and you are happy, then no you didnt blow it.
But...for a hundred more I think you can get them new????
For me, I wouldnt buy a 445, even for $100. Just no value to me. But everyones needs are different. If you want a light trimming saw, it should be fine. For for similar money, you can get a used bigger and faster saw, but then again, if you want a trimmer.....you dont want big and fast.
Let us know how it runs and what you think.

Around here I believe the 445 is around 400-450 new.
