i'd like to try one, but i read a thread a while back sayin the stock hd filter without the pre-wrap flowed better. If i read correct.

Use the pre wrap on the oem set up......
Foam filters sound better, it just depends on wheter you want to put up with oiling them.

Put one on my 064. picked up some noticable power & rpm. haven't detuned as the manufacturer suggested. just keep it in the wood. only downfall, the filter cover is big and ugly, sticks out on the sides quite a bit and doesn't match the color of the old saw
. started not to use it but it's worth it for the performance.

Oh yeah, either get a max flow or a v-stack.

So is the green weenie a velocity stack? I think the max flow would be better though for my needs. Whats the v stack cost? Maybe it could be an option too.
The filter is the weenie, the mount is the v-stack. The stack cost me $25 I think from Madsen's and the foam filters are only $4.50 (+or-) a piece, which is a hell of a good price. I even have one on my husky 350 that I modded.

i went with the 'velocity' stack approach, but only because i have a husky.
maybe these pictures may help you decide, or give you an idea.
p.s. thats pnaty hose im using as world's cheapest prefilter, filter's color is actually yellow....
(also, this is a one off bellmouth (aka:velocity stack)...flows little bit better than regular stack)

Mine's not a bellmouth, it's just whatever the normal one is.

sorry about that....i was asking for help on the stack subject awhile back, when i got TOLD there's a difference between the two, and velocity stack actually refences a completely tuned entire intake, but a bellmouth is the piece at the very end....only stuck to referencing it that way because otherwise everyone got confused which didn't help me when i was trying to find out the information....(basically what is commonly known as a velocity stack here, is truly named a bellmouth, but everyone justs calls them velocity stacks anyway)
anyways, sorry to defer from this threads goal, and hope i didn't confuse anyone.

How's it run with that stack on it? the max flow says you can use theirs without the cover but no velocity bout it. i use mine a lot in the brush and figure the foam wouldn't last long.
The foam doesn't really get damaged at all. The biggest advantage is that they have good air flow, sound, and they don't clog like STIHL HD filters.
