I recently purchased a new ms500i for bucking up big cottonwood logs... straight stock I REALLY like the saw! I installed a MaxFlow filter to improve the air filtration and air intake flow, and then added this RipSaw signature exhaust and wow it runs great! The exhaust obviously sounds louder now but not obnoxious by any means. It sounds like a powerful chainsaw should sound IMO. The exhaust tone is fuller and a bit deeper which I really like. The best part is when cutting big logs now I've observed the saw runs cooler than stock. It just breathes easier and better all around. I did a fair bit of research and checking out comparisons to other mufflers online before buying. I'm really glad I went with this particular exhaust from RipSaw. The left side port is angled properly to direct the fumes (and sound) away from the operator. I think the left side port is better for heat dissipation too. The saw and the chain bar feel cooler to the touch after making multiple big cuts. Well done guys thanks!
Great product as advertised also great company to deal with thanks Ripsaw.
Fantastic shop. Would love to see it in the future, great guys offering top knotvh products
As described if not better, thanks !
Just getting into porting and wanted to see what was achievable the easy way with this bolt on kit. It was well worth the money as you are essentially getting a brand new saw thats wildly more powerful and productive in the case of a 2511. Its also just plain fun to run now too! Thanks Ripsaw!
