Max Flo filter for Stihl 500I-Is it worth the money

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Just so that guy can see the 400 air filter differences. I actually had guys complain about the glued in filters of RB coming apart. I would get the removal uni filter with cage if you compare.

I was on wcs filter #3 when I got the Egan setup. The first 2 came unglued.

I've known Jason for a long time. Man of his word you have a issue contact him. He is a retired logger and knows what is needed.

I've never read any issues with them to date. You can read feedback on his sales website and at egan performance saws FB.

This guy ran one with just the pre-oiled filter as they came. Not even having to clean and re-oil. I suggest Belray myself. Can give reason why as me and Jason had a talk on this when my son was racing on dirt in stock appearing kart.

= Been testing one out for awhile. Big improvement for the 500. Little Increase in power and zero fines getting by. Got 5 days on this filter so far. I love it. You can still use your stock cover. Factory oil. Filters come pre oiled.


Noticed he has to video's in link to show how to install everything correctly. https://eganperformancesaws.com/products/air-filter-kit

Belray makes two products that are absolutely superb, their foam filter oil and their waterproof grease. I've used both for years.

What does wcs make for filters? Never seen theirs. Only Jason's and Nick's.

Red Beard makes the WCS filter.

Just got a reply from Max Flo that they do have one shroud already modified for an extra $55 plus the original $89.95 kit. My stock filter is looking better all of the time.

getting those molds machined ain't cheap either. I had some extra filters so cut holes in my stock filter to look like the cages that look like max flow, then I oiled filter and put it over stock filter and have been running it like that with no issues for past 2.5 yrs

No argument that molds are not cheap to produce. Depends on the Return on Your Investment whether you want make that change to a mold if it is worth the longer term investment. It is likely that more of those filter set ups would sell if mods were not needed, but not my decision to make. If you are using a 'Stihl' branded product, you also would likely need their approval as well to modify. If just offering aftermarket parts, it may need less blessings.
