In terms of looks, price and performance which stage 1 intake upgrade is best and why?

Pics please

 

Looks and performance often contradict, price and performance contradict even more. You may want to buy three air cleaners, one that looks good, one that is cheap and one that performs well.

 

I beg to differ... I'm sure the one you have on your sporty is all three in YOUR opinion. Really though, I just need feedback on which stage 1 intakes people like best.

 

Nope, first, I do not give a crap about looks, second, I do care about performance, third, it was damn expensive.

 

Any aftermarket intake should flow more air than your motor can use. I went with a Vance and Hines VO2, it was inexpensive, I think it looks pretty good, it's American Made, and I know V&H to be decent quality. Pic is attached.

I'm happy with it, but had I done a little more homework, I would have bought the DK Customs Outlaw kit.

 

For looks and price I like the Velociraptor. I have no idea where it falls on the performance spectrum though since I have never seen a dyno run with it. The Ness Big Sucker is cheap and gets good performance reviews.

 

I did go with the Outlaw kit. It suited the look I was after and DKCustoms has a well earned reputation.

 

Looks are completely subjective. Our price is good, but not the cheapest, performance is better than most, and as good (or very close) to the best.

Here's a LOT of Pictures-

 

DK customs Outlaw is where its at! Easy install , great customer service, great price, and it gives your bike that extra power needed to keep a smile on your face!

 

I havent seen anything that would make me give up a tried and true S&S unit.
