Default Best Intake for my Stage 1 upgrade 2013 Slim

I know its beaten to death but here goes. Next up on my bike is an air cleaner system , se tuner and dyno job. I currently run rush slip-ons with 2" baffles . My boy Jersey_marine has a arlen ness inverted sucker for sale but I really want the best option. Dk Customs has the outlaw 587 but Im not hot on any of their covers . Do any of these intakes make a difference or are they all the same? What is the difference between my stock setup vs. a new air cleaner.

Exhausts differ but once you go from the stock, restricted air cleaner to any of the many high-flow, unrestricted air cleaners, they're pretty much all the same.. You're only buying looks at that point.

What about the DK with the lexan cover? Simple, and stylish.

FuelMoto for your intake and tuner. No dyno needed.

Here's the Arlen Ness inverted cleaner ON a slim.

I like it a lot. It is thicker than the stock one, but because of the shape, I still have a bit of room for my knee. The bigger air cleaners would have been more of an interference than this one is. No problem with rain...

Wow you guys are good. I was figuring as much like Jam says , basically they are all the same . I'm leaning towards a DK Customs Outlaw but im not too hot on the covers. Maybe the clear on with the swirl ? Does anyone know if any other covers fit their outlaw?
