How will changing air cleaner effect sound
Does anyone have any idea how changing the air cleaner will change the sound. I have cycle shack slip-ons only. Im thinking about doing an air cleaner, I realize I'll also need to change the map via either a PC III or SERT or download of some kind, but what Im wondering is will changing the air cleaner make the exhaust note get deepr or higher or stay the same. Just wondering. Thanks for any input.
My hope is it would made the exhaust note deeper.

Air cleaner wont effect sound....The slip ons you installed will stay as loud or as quiet as they are now...What will happen is they will finally be working at full potential..Also everyone seems to think that they have to install a tuner when they pick up there bike...Depending on the year and model of the bike and your future plans for upgrades you may be fine with a simple Stage1 download from the dealer...If your bike has O2 sensors it has the ability to make small adjustments in the air/fuel ratio while it is running in closed loop and if you have no grand plans for cams and headwork..your bike will respond pretty good with just the download...I currently run the Big Sucker A/C and Vance and Hines shorties with just a download and I have no problems on my07 StreetBob...Hope this helps..Later

If you put an open filter on it, w/o the football, you'll hear some air being sucked in when you first hit it, but it wont do anything for your exhaust.
