Stihl 048 Velocity Stack?

[The Burning Rom]

So, there was a unique 048 that sold on eBay today. It actually had a velocity stack installed on it. It looked like a very good install as well. My intention was to purchase it and either finish the saw (if the top end was good) or rob the intake for a different saw. Sadly, I was outbid at the last second. I didn't really need another saw to rebuild, but this has left me wanting a velocity stack setup for one of my 048 saws. I think it would motivate me to put my 048 Super back together, which has been apart in a box for over a year. Question is, where do you get something like this? Usually the ones I have seen have a rubber intake elbow to make the bend upward, but this one looks like it's all aluminium/metal. Wish there had been more pics of it with the air box cover off. Anyone have any ideas? Sources?

Definitely. It probably doesn't give much..if any perf gain, but it's unique.

Yeah, I've seen that list of links before. Could be a machine shop, though I don't see anyone taking that kind of time or money for an 048. Someone mentioned in the 026 thread that a large saw shop sells them, and has a 45 degree setup, which I think this one is. I'm going to call Madsens next week and see if they have em....I'm guessing they are the large shop the guy was alluding to.

Well? Did they have them? I'm looking for one too and unless I find one I gotta bug a neighbor until he helps me make one.

No.

I did find another one, but it didn't have quite the same angle on it.

There's a guy on Facebook (and maybe these forums) that 3D prints stacks. I was thinking of asking him to take a shot at making one. He may or may not have interest.

What's the point/benefit?

It allows the use of a standard, easily found air filter in place of a discontinued one in this instance.
