    The above picture was from a dealer on OPE forum, I figure they are still hard to lay hands on at this point, but anxiously await availability. Thus far, the flocked filter has been regarded as best due to micron sizes of the yellow and black mesh filters. The new orange filter actually shows smaller micron filtration than the flocked filter and can be cleaned much easier. No-brainer to me to make the switch.

    But how does it flow? If it's no significant difference than a flocked or the other mesh filter, then it's what everybody has been praying for for those saws. Flocked filters have a terrible reputation for clogging with fines/oil over time.

    Wonder what shipping cost would be? Fits it ships?

    I may be interested in some other OEM #s as well.

    I I would probably just use a flat rate usps envelope or box depending on if anything else was ordered.

    So I went to my local husqvarna dealer today to get new filter for my 545 and 435. He said there were 3 options for the 545. 2 nylons and a felt. The guy running the counter didn't know what the bbn difference was between the 3. What one should I go with?
