EPS Straight Shot Muffler - 500 UPDATED!!
These straight shots are amazing for what they are! Throttle response is great on these stock saws but definitely better with the straight shot. More torque. My stihl dealer was kind of on the fence about them. After toying around with mine, he asked me to order him one for his 500i!! Spikes, air filtration and straight shots on all my saws. Definitely LOUD but they are AWESOME! Wouldn't cut without them.
I actually haven't used mine yet but I bought the same Straight Shot for my son's 500i so I am sure it will work the same for my 500i. He likes his and like the performance gain. I also like the updated version that has welded deflector the one I got for my son has the two pieces with the deflector being seperate.
Everything fit flawless! Awesome quality!
Pleasantly surprised at how well made this is. Welds look awesome. Thick stainless steel, you know this thing can take a beating. Super loud even on idle. Not sure if it made any noticeable difference on a stock ms500i but will give it some time to prove its self.
