This air filter kit includes one filter cage (Egan Performance Saws, made in USA) and one pre-oiled Uni Filter (CF 0690 - made in Australia), as well as one o-ring that fits around the knob that secures the cover to the saw. (See photos showing how to install this o-ring on the knob)
This kit is designed to fit under the OEM air filter cover on Stihl models 500 and 661. Testing has shown that the Uni Filter does a better job of filtering out fine particulates than the OEM filter, while also improving performance.
Please refer to the video below for proper installation tips.
And note that on 661s, the round black plastic piece that's underneath the oem filter will need to be removed prior to installing this filter kit.

Best air filter i have used !
You have a couple of choices. I chose Egan because of its design, function and simplicity. Plus, the filter comes pre-oiled, which is nice.
When installed, the included o-ring creates a tight seal at the closure mechanism of the stock 500i cover.
Don't forget to included some Bel Ray foam filter oil in your order for future re-oiling.
Best purchase to make to keep fine sawdust out of your $1700 ms500i fits under stock cover
Really opened up the saw letting it breather more and cleaner with 0 particles passing through filter
