STIHL 500i ripsaw ported

[@polaristech101]

I purchased a ported echo outta walkers saw shop. I waited alot longer than what they had said as well which I understand they are busy. The great thing about them is I didn't pay a cent until they called and said it was finished. Very happy with the service and the saw.

I have a 261 and currently waiting for my 500i from Ripsaw lol. Ordered in March. Hopefully I get mine before the worst of hurricane season in Florida! My 261 is stock but I have West Coast Saw air filter with an outerwears pre filter over it (helps a lot with fine dust), WCS felling dogs, clutch cover, and their universal exhaust port. It gives my friend's 362 a run for its money. Great backup saw.

Those ported 500s tear it up 👍

Nice review brother we appreciate the feedback!

[@Justdubbin]

Thank you! Love the saw nice work.

[@danclas5983]

Even though it wasn't an even test, not even if the 500I was bone stock. You have to admit for what it is the 261 is an awesome little firewood saw. I've seen a few of the Ripsaw ported 500's on youtube and they all look like they do in fact rip. Me, I'm just flying stock and I've been pretty happy with mine.

awesome saw and it looks good on you..congrats...thumbs up !!

[@Justdubbin]

Thank you

[@NorthCentralPaAnglers]

Absolute badass saw.

[@sigwave-youtube]

Ripsaw site now says "Current lead time: ~6-8 months from date of purchase."

[@Justdubbin]

That’s probably more accurate than what they had on their website at the time I ordered.

[@leonardyates3867]

Yea screw that

[@angrylion4752]

Ok, everybody talks about porting but no one says whether intake or exhaust or both... Soooooo, which one??? Also, what about polishing???

[@TeamRipsawUSA]

This saw receives a base cut and squish cut, upper transfer, lower transfer resize and reshape, removal of blemishes on the intake, full resize, reshape and polishing on the exhaust, muffler work. Let us know if you need any info!

​@@TeamRipsawUSAgreat info! What order number are you currently working on?

[@JandSChainsaw]

7 months dang check iut the video indiana doug made comparing the ripsaw against stock

[@whitebridge4849]

That saw was not a ripsaw. Only a fool would believe what a competitor of them says. Clearly Egan made that video to promote himself.

​​@@Justdubbin What was u getting. Ready to say when u said " if your thinking about getting a 500i not ported , well nevermind" ? And is that a 25" bar or 28" ? Or am I wrong about both lol.. I been putting it off and putting it off but I'm fixing to order a 500i with a 28" lw bar and Hex chain today. There on backorder everywhere.. I can't find one in stock anywhere and I just can't wait 7 or 8 months.. I'd love to but that's crazy wait time.. thanks good vid..

[@lukereynolds9907]

Get a ported dolmar 7900 it might rip that 500i

[@joshuasweet1532]

I tried to mail mine to them and they turned me down and it's a new saw

[@Justdubbin]

Did they give you a reason why ?

[@joshuasweet1532]

@@Justdubbin they said they're too backed up with the new saws

[@TeamRipsawUSA]

@@joshuasweet1532Hey Joshua, as long as the saw is listed on our website and in new condition we are accepting saws for mail in mods!

[@joshuasweet1532]
