ngoti8tor do you real expect the people there to say it sucks? Buy just a k%n filter for suck or spend less money for the big air and have a better filter that can be upgraded. But those hypers are pretty.

I would go for the big sucker stage II, it eliminates the the rubber breather tubes. Nice, easy, clean install. Plus the possibilities for covers are only limited by your imagination.

Right here on the Harley page:

That's the round filter kit. Then just get a football cover and cut it down.

Did you actually read the entire letter, and did you read what I posted as my choice?

I said "I would choose the Big Sucker, and I'll post why, once again.". The reason I personally chose to stay with my S/E A/C over the Hypercharger for my bike, was because of the contents of that letter. The letter is also why I said I would choose the Big Sucker over the Hypercharger in this case.

In that letter, they don't claim the Hypercharger is better than anything else in every situation. In some situations, they claim the Hypercharger would not be as good as some other A/C.

I have a stage II big sucker. it looks great and I noticed a big difference in power. it seems like the hyper charger would restrict air flow as it is enclosed.

In my research, my opinion is that the Hypercharger is more for show, than go.
The Hypercharger only has the 2 butterfly openings, a slit on the bottom, and some have a small scoop or stinger on the side, for air intake.
The Big Sucker, and even the S/E Stage1 A/C that I have on my bike have a greater surface area of the filter exposed for air intake.
