Bolt on more power with an Egan Performance “straight shot” muffler to your Stihl 500 chainsaw for an immediate increase in power and throttle response and a reduction of engine temperatures.
This straight shot now includes an integrated and welded deflector extension.
We do still offer the optional add-on Straight Shot Deflector Extension for the prior version of this straight shot. Please see the product description for additional information.
Made in the USA from 10 gauge 304 stainless steel, with USFS approved spark arrestor.
Upon installation, this saw will tune itself.
Sounds great!
Great muffler. Easy installation. Sounds excellent! Deflector keeps the heat off your saw. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one.
Just got this installed today along with the air filter kit. I installed it at the end of the day and didn't have much time to run it, but after a few cuts I noticed the extra torque. Seems to load the engine a lot smoother and doesn't stall the chain so suddenly.
It's a good bit louder, but the longest I ever run non-stop would be a couple tanks of gas worth, so with ear plugs in it won't be a problem......it would get old if I ran it continuously tank after tank.
Worked great, saw has a bit more power with a very simple change that doesn’t change the reliability of the saw.
Wow, what a difference! Throttle response is greatly improved and feels to have much better performance. Need one now for my MS241 and my red lever 026
