which is better a screaming eagle air cleaner kit or Arlen ness big sucker
I am looking to upgrade the air cleaner on my 99 fatboy. I can get a screaming eagle kit for $129 or the Arlen Ness for either a stage one for $99 or the stage 2 for $119. Just looking at them I reuse the stock cover for the screaming eagle and the stage 1 kits right? Then the stage 2 Arlen ness kit needs a bigger cover. So I am confused as to which route I should take. The Arlenn ness kit promises 19% increase with the stage one and 21% with the stage 2 are the extra couple percent worth the cost of the new cleaner cover I will have to buy with it.
I apologize for all the questions but I am new to the Harley stuff.

if you have the stock 8 inch circular cover that most evos cam with, the arlen ness big sucker 2 will fitr under it, if your using a football cover, you can only get away with the stage 1 arlen ness, thats all i use, is the alren ness stage 2 kits. very high quality and a washable filter, what more can 1 ask for.
p.s and to be honest, there isnt much difference between the stage 1 and 2 ness filter, i would just opt for the stage 1 since its cheaper,

I guess its fair to say that k&n is the standard, whatever you like that uses a k&n I think you would be good to go with a minimum difference between them with regards to air flow, set aside the hypercharger.
