This air filter kit includes one filter cage and one filter cage base (Egan Performance Saws, made in USA) and one pre-oiled Uni Filter (CF 0757 - made in Australia).
This kit is designed to fit under the OEM air filter cover on Stihl model 261. The top cover of the chainsaw will not need to be modified, as there are no clearance issues like other filter kits on the market. Testing has shown that the Uni Filter does a better job of filtering out fine particulates than the OEM filter, while also improving performance.

Install is easy but requires Stihl t-handle nut driver. Great product maybe we should get the nut driver as a purchase option. Great filter
EPS Air Filter Kit (Stihl 261)
Filter easy to install in minutes, fits well under cover with no interference, very well built cage and filter. Added a little extra performance along with my dual ported muffler. I would recommend this filter to the person that wants a little extra performance from their saw.
Seems cool but the plastic is way to brittle. I tried working with it and the hole the bolt goes through just snapped right off.
I'm sorry to hear that the base of the cage for the 261 filter kit broke. I will send you a replacement. Be sure when you install it to push it all the way into place and then install the bolts instead of using the bolts to pull it into place. And be careful not to overtighten it.
