K+N air filters for chainsaws?

Just looking at Ebay for a replacement bar for a 660, came across K+N filters for saws? do they actually help? are the worth £30 quid? heard of them been put in cars/bikes with good results, but saws ???

Seen em on "racing" saws No cover as it won't fit on the ones I saw .

For £30 id get one, just to play with.

 

I've had performance air filters on cars and the noise and cold air suction has been awesome. Do it!!

Simplest way to check the flow is to run the saw up and tach it with the standard filter - repalce it with a special one and see if it lifts the top end revs - if it does then it will have a positive effect.

 

Funny - I was thinking about doing this on my 357XP - well...it has been ported, pop up piston, muffler mod....got to tweak the ignition timing and why not do the air filter:lol:

yup might be worth a try? more out of curiosity! my 660 has a Muffler mod at the moment, the K+N on Ebay looks like it just replaces the original?

If you get a more efficient filter that lets more air through then you must tune for fourstroking at the top end and also use a tach to log max revs - luckily with a muffler mod, it is damn easy to hear the thumping at the top end:thumbup:
