I've been told that the round air cleaner off of the `14's & `15's
will fit my `12 Limited.I have a K&N in the stock `12 housing.My
question is if I change to the round air cleaner with a K&N filter
since it has the scoop & the front opening will it flow any more
air than my football cover?

 

Yes it will fit. From the research that I've done, the intake on the 14s and 15s flow almost 20% more air than the previous football intakes. Here is the intake off of a 15 on my 09,

 

the complete stock air cleaner off a 14+ will fit on your '12 throttle body.

and will flow about 15% more than the stock '12 air cleaner with the stock paper air filter.

you can check with K&N whether your filter would fit in the new housing


if you just want a high flow air cleaner the ness big sucker is under $120 on ebay from easternpc.
it uses the football cover ( which will hide the servo motor plug and wiring)
and comes with an oiled, washable filter similar to the K&N

If you shop around you can find a 14 or 15 stock air cleaner assembly for cheap. I was able to get mine for $20.

 

That's what I have in mind.Probably won't do
the swap till winter.

 

Ok . It's an easy direct swap. Took me an hour but I took my time.

 

I like it! Where may I ask did you find yours for $20...here on the forum, eBay, etc?

 

Where did you guys read 15-20% more air flow then prior years? I read 5-7% increase in air flow.

I also bought a Rushmore a/c and consider it a hi flow for a stock 96 or 103. Cammed, not sure.

 

I live in DFW Tx and there is a group on facebook called dfw harley parts. The was a guy selling one on there for $20, so I bought it

 

Any problem with the front air scoop
sucking in water?
