Neither amount to a hill of beans...save some money and get a naked breather..like an A/N big sucker.

 

You would need to be going 400 mph for any real "ramming." If you to "force" air ...then you need a supercharger or turbocharger. Anything else is just silly.

 

so for those of you who don't have stock intakes, what are you guys using?

 

RSD Venturi/Speed 5. Common on the forums, not on the street.

 

I never wanted one, will never have one and always thought they looked hokey. I have been riding for a lot of years, owned 4 Harleys, don't claim to be an expert, so I have to ask: What's the message it sends? Just wondering. BTW, I just have an SE Stage I with a plain smooth round cover, keepin' it simple

 

Its a weird gizmo that I think people get caught up in the flaps opening and closing. Bizarre, but I wonder if thats it.

 

I think they are referring to them as CHEAP POS's

 

I have to agree... I don't think people are really "ramming" as much air as they think they are. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with those a/c's, but really, as long as the flow isn't restricted, like a stock cleaner, I'm pretty sure you're never really starving your engine of air.

 

Heavy Breather FTW

 

If there's no real performance upgrade to replacing the hypercharger with a different aftermarket A/C, I think I'll keep the hypercharger. Seems to **** a lot of people off.
