Trying to keep this as inexpensive as I can. I'm looking to do either an SE Stage I or Arlen Ness Big Sucker kit. If I were to take the SE route, could I just buy the backing plate and scrounge a K&N filter somewhere, or is there more that I'd need beyond that?

Likewise, if I were to go for the ANBS, is the only difference from the SE the filter itself, or is the backing plate different from the SE as well?

 

www.easternperformance.com great price on the big sucker kit!

 

Yes, the part # for the k&n is HD-800. The backing plate (chrome) is $40 and the filter should run ya around $50 +/-. I actually found a used setup at a local indy. He sold me the chrome plate and hardware for $20, and a brand new k^n filter for $55. Total cost: $75.

 

someone put up a post a while back on how to mod the stock back plate to work and make your intake that way... another used a filter from autozone that looked pretty trick!

 

I did the AN Big Sucker. Look around on line. Think I got the chrome one for $120.00ish. Run it open with the end of the football. I'm real happy with it. Worth the $$

Can't imagine you can save that much putting pieces and parts together.

 

I just was reading that the AN big suckers have a tendency to break. Thats why I'm looking at the kury hi-5.

 

Thanks for the link!



Do they make a powdercoated version as well?

Anyone else had this problem?



Thanks for the help so far!

 

I'll sell ya my SE stage 1 intake and a round cover (chrome with an embossed bar & shield logo) for $150.

Had it on my 08 Fat Bob but liked this one better:

 

How many miles have you got on the A/C itself? I wouldn't need the cover, but could definitely use the backing plate, filter, and other necessary SE hardware.

 

What kind and whhere did you find that A/C? looks good.
