The max flow kit can be bought for around $50 from a couple places. The HD 2 is any where from $38-55 in my area. I can buy the whole setup for the same price as one filter and have 2 filters to swap out with.

Outerwears makes the profilers specifically for the stihl saws, i bought some for the hd2's but they still pack with fines just as quick if ya ask me.
I also think that maxflo keep more out than the hd2, I see zero particles on my back plate when I pull the filter, I cannot say the same for either of the hd's.
Performance wise, all I know is I had to fatten it up on the low side so my chain wouldn't spin after installing the maxflo.

If playing dress up with your saw is somethin your into you can even get the outerwears in pretty colors of your choice , i picked orange

I agree , the saws ive run max flows on dont seem to pass really anything at all , i cut a ton of dead ash this summer with an HD2 and between the dust from the machines around me and as dusty as dead ash is to begin with combined with the humidity that HD2 was packed and was not easy to clean at all , i scraped it out with a carb screwdriver..i bought some outerwears but havent put alot of time on them yet

I'm sure they help some, but you'll still have to scrape them out.

I paid $50 for the Max Flo delivered to my door. Dealer wanted $89 + tax for the HD2. I was unaware of the aesthetic "issue". And I'll admit, a part of me was/is happy to support quality aftermarket parts for Stihl. Wish there were more. I have a hard time justifying paying more for a chainsaw air filter than my truck (even a K & N).

They were on sale at Baileys and I used a free shipping promo.
Saw sounded good to me.
Madsens has them for that price as does hls pro parts.
Oh my! I just paid 35 plus tax two weeks ago for one.

I have the HD2 on my 460. Granted I only cut firewood. Best part is I can clean it in about 20seconds.
and they shouldn't be over $25
I sure wish that was the case. One dealer sells them for $34 before tax.
I sure wish I could sell them online, but I won't do that and shipping would bring them close to $34.
