Stage one is not that big a deal . Your stock Air cleaner housing has more flow than the engine will ever use. A washable filter beats paper anytime for other reasons. Most often the AC gets changed for looks. Air flow is just away to justify it.

The Outlaw 636v will out-perform either of the two A/C's asked about. It is also less expensive, lifetime warranty, and Made in the USA.

Why compromise performance and engine longevity for a worry of what may happen when you can spend 30 minutes making it a completely non-issue?

I I have one. Doesn't bother me but does interfere with my leg but not an issue for me. I found an Arlen Ness it I had to have because of the looks. I paid 400 minus a discount but you can buy the exact same one on the bay for 100.
