Echo cs2511tes with panther bar 12 or 14 inch?

There’s a good video from buckin’ billy ray. Heavily ported 2511 with a 16” bar I think. Looks ridiculous! Cuts well in softwood to be fair from what I remember. Must of had serious port work.
Not sure how long it would last ...

10” def a good size bar for them. Cracking wee saw.

If you Dremel the exhaust out and tune out the ‘h’ it will run the 12” fine, especially on the Panther 1/4 x 0.43 but
a) the chains are VERY fiddly to sharpen and
b) the bars are made of chocolate.
That said, WAY faster cutting speed than the 1/4 x 0.50 options and much smoother pruning
