Anyone run one of these? Do you like it? It's also offered for the 044/046, anyone try it on one of those?

I found them more work than the stock filters.
You have to oil the max flows and clean them or change them out.

Would they be god for a guy just getting his own firewood? Do they provide more power? I think they would be a pain for a pro logger.

I'd say no to the more power. I didn't notice any difference.
But you can always buy one and see for yourself.

Stihl uses same HD filter on 440,460,660 and 880
Seems if it flows enough for 880 it will flow more than enough for 660.

They're more work than a stock filter but you can go a lot longer between cleanings, so they're actually less work. Of course, you can take my opinion with a grain of salt, since I only cut professionally in the west for 20 years.
All the pro log cutters here are running them. For a firewood guy? I'd have to say no, unless you're missing the stock air filter + cover, and looking at shelling out over $60 new to replace those parts at a dealer. Then the Max-Flow becomes a bargain (depending on where you buy them.)
The stock filter still does the best job at filtering the intake air.

For firewood cutting, I would say no.
I had one on my ported 460 and I ended up switching back to the HD filter. I could not tell a difference in the saw between the two.
Although, the intervalls between cleaning was nice.
Plus those things are hidious.

They are uglier than sin. Besides, the factory HD filter flows more air than the saw needs to begin with. And they continue to run well way after they appear to be clogged up.

I have 2 projects with missing the air filter and cover, which is why i thought about that kit. Maybe i should just dig threw the pile of stuff i have, maybe i have those parts after all and don't even know it. I do agree thou, they are strange looking.

I've always run them. They work well in burnt timber, other nasty dirty conditions. Doesn't seem like anything gets past them. As for maintenance, you can get the Bel-Ray oil in a spray can now. Makes life a lot easier. - Sam
My opinion too. I run one one my 660 and I think they are better. The carb stays cleaner and the filter will go a long time between cleanings. For burning/burned wood they can't be beat.
