Performance air intake question

[msailer]

Hey Guys, I'm looking for performance air filter and cover kits for my Stihl 029. I did a simple exhaust mod and want to get my intake working in tune with my exhaust. Any suggestion?

I'd head on over to the chainsaw forum. That's where the most people hang out, the primary topic of discussion there is tinkering with and modifying saws.

Opening up the exhaust automatically enables the saw to pull in more air through the carby. What you need to do now is add more fuel (not more air) by rebalancing the carb. Provided you keep your air filter clean (knock out the filter every few tankfulls is all you need to do) your next limit is not the air filter size but the cylinder ports and eventually the carby throat diameter. Once these are sorted only then is it worth messing with the air filter.
