Stihl 024 Super air filter

I wouldn't recommend a toothbrush on a Stihl filter as they're too stiff in my opinion. A soft paintbrush works well.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that.

Is the $40 oem flocked Stihl part number the only thing that will work properly?

I am in Denver area and the air is thin here, so saws don't make as much power here than they do at sea level because the pressure is lower. I am wondering if anyone has found a cheaper filter that has worked well for them?

Good idea. I'll take my wife's toothbrush from the bathroom...

Don't let her see you take it or bring it back!

From everything I've researched, the OEM filter is the only one that works. You can put the taller one on there I believe, but you have to change the cover to the 026 I think.

Correct. And modify the tank vent as well. The carb cover will also stick up 1/2" higher than the shroud, so you will need the 026 shroud also unless you can live with that. By some miracle and perhaps a little whittling, the 026 shroud will fit the 024.
