does either contribute to the deep burly growl sound i am looking for?
i like the big sucker, but i am not sure how i feel about it be exposed all the time and their cover options are weak. i would like to find a black cover for it, might have to find a custom site.

The SE is a ripoff
In typical HD fashion they nickel and dime you on the SE. Like you have to buy the chrome backing plate extra,then the cover,then the inserts. Its bull. Just get an Arlen Ness in chrome. I got mine from eastern PC and it was like $115.00 shipped and I got it in chrome and 2 in 2 days Call Eastern Performance Cycles. Super nice and you can get a outerwear from outerwears.com

Just my 2 cents, but I heard the Big Sucker is made in China, if so, I wouldn't put it on my bike. Anybody know if this is true? The Ness website pics doesn't say, all you can read is "made in ". I will be going with a Wimmer Better Sucker when I finally get back from Asscrackistan. Plus the Wimmer is billet instead of cast like the Big Sucker.

The air filter mounts to the backing plate & the cover mounts to the filter. You don't need the SE backing plate to retain the stock cover.

At first I could not stand the way that the Heavy breather looked, but over time it has started to grow on me, as for any of the others, I dunno never tried any of them.
