To do the swap you need these parts:

HOLDER 503 62 75-01
AIR FILTER 5114550-01
The carburetor has to be removed in order to change the holder.

I did the same thing to mine. My 390XPG is a lowtop as well. You can carefully remove the XP decal and put it on the new cover too.

I now have the correct 390XPG label on the recoil. This is all I had at them time and wanted a new label on it.

Looks better and flows more air with the 44 micron filter. If I were a logger, no doubt I'd want the HD filter.

High Top for me!

Maybe it's just me, but I like the High Top. But then again, I have been known to err on the heavy duty side, even when I don't "need" it.

Nothing wrong with that either.

Low top and the 44 micron filter is standard here!

+1 troll, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder because I don't like the look of the high top. A filter on a Jred/ Husky on a 3 series saw just does not get very dirty. I think it is more a personal thing? unless someone is really lazy and never clean the filter.

They seem to breath better,,,, did a "mouth" test on my high top mesh filter and the 44micron low top, easier to breath through the low top and the filter area seems to be equal !?

Of course extreme conditions exist, but generally :agree2:

Nice, I like both covers. I mean id like to have one of each

Beuaty is in the eye of the beerholder.

No reason... just think it looks better, especially sitting next to a 346. I only did it on the 372xp (70cc), the xpw's (75cc), I left alone.

Do they put the XP badge on the low top saws?

 

[SawTroll]

..... Do they put the XP badge on the low top saws?

When they come stock on the saw, yes.

...otherwise, refer to Brads post......

My 372xp is too old to have it.

 

[BlacknTan]

The low top certainly make the saw more pleasing to the eye.. But, If they all came as low tops, I bet folks would be turning them into high tops with the big filter...

 

[056kid]

You guys that like the low top saws are probably the type that like girls with small butts:biggrinbounce2:

 

[little possum]

whats wrong with girls with small butts?

Im goin to see if I can block out brads posts, so I dont have to look at his saws. jealous

 

[Saw Dr.]

Very nice! I didn't know there were low top filters for the bigger Husky saws. BRB, I have to go check ebay for something....

 

[Bowtie]

I would trade my low top setup for a high top, I like the high top better, I think it looks badass!
