Awesome. I had 3 saws that the dog nut and bolt failed and the case where the nut bolt combo went through to attach the dog broke as well due to the excessive heat. Deflector idea works awesome!
I loved my saw when it was new, this Straight Shot muffler makes me love it even more. It's like a totally different saw.

The quality is absolutely outstanding and so are Jason’s welds. I’ve rarely seen welds as perfect as his, granted it’s stainless (which always looks better) but he has some real welding talent.
Whilst using a full wrap handle the straight shot will blow chips into your eyes WITHOUT having the deflector in place. So it definitely solves that issue. As to the heat, it definitely reduces the exposure to the bar and body of the saw. It should be included as a part of every straight shot sold.
It looks like it automatically gave 5 stars even though I gave it 4
