As someone who has been a Stihl guy for years…I have to admit this saw is absolutely wicked. I added a wrap handle and now its my go to for everything. Well balanced, smooth, and a TON of of power. The fuel efficiency is wild. The 572xp is a WIN.
This is exactly the muffler my Ripsaw ported 572xp needed, no wonder why the wait was long. The ripsaw boys hit a homerun with this muffler. ive tried a few different mufflers and even a pipe on my 572 and this ripsaw muffler is by far my favorite sounding and performing muffler. It gives my 572 a great gain in power and torque without too much of a obnoxious tone, it wakes up the 572 big time!!!
Great physical build quality. Straightforward install. Makes a slight but definitely noticeable power difference in the saw. Sounds great! Makes the saw sound like a saw should! Well done guys. Keep the development rolling, and I hope you keep products coming for the pro saw lines. Waiting on stuff for the 592XP, more for the 400C, and even the 545mkii could benefit. I know tons of people who love the 545/550 platform and would happily buy some good upgrades.
Anyways, thanks again!
Awesome product. Very satisfied. 500i looks and sounds even better.
