272 air filter

[SawDoc441]

Building up a 272 that's been under my bench for probably 10 years. I have a couple to rob parts from. What's the desired air filter setup? The K&N style or the one that fits in the little black box? Looks like the black "airbox" style might not clog up as fast. I'm not nearly as familiar with Husky as Stihl. What say the experts?

HL supply sells an aftermarket HD filter and I believe the filter holder for the 272. @Stump Shot was the tester and says they fit and work great.

Here's the thread on that.

Also the filter adapter.

All the parts are available from HLSUPPLY including the clamp if need be. Either individually or as a three piece kit.

I have all the stuff OEM already. Just wondering which filter setup is better.
