Default Big Sucker

What are the real differences between the AN Big Sucker Stage I and II?

From what little I've been able to find it looks to me like the BSII is just a little bit bigger. Is that the only difference?

What, if any, difference am I likely to see performance wise?

Thanks!

It'll pull more air. If you just do exhaust and air box, you definitely don't need it.

The difference is the amount of filter area, Stage 2 has alot more. You'd have to use a round
filter cover from an EVO to use it. You can also buy a after market one also. The stage 2 flows considerably more air.

I think the big suckerII is only justified if you have bigbore cylinders, aftermarket cam, head work, etc. If you are just going to stick with an exhaust and air filter mod the big sucker I will be fine.......

The stage 1 will run just as good and the stage 2 unless your building a biggir engine and using a bigger throttle body.

I have the big sucker and it was restritive on my 95 in. I just bought the Zippers filter and that helped alot. its about 1 inch longer that the standard big sucker or stage II. I

If it had been available when I was looking the first time I would have bought it then!

I mean, You know your going to do somthing with your bike! so just get the biggist A/F you can find and buy it once!
