Default High flow air cleaner...
Is it worth the money?&nbsp\\; Thinking of getting&nbsp\\;one for my '08 Ultra. Anyone done it? Did you notice a diference?

I installed the K&amp\\;N Heavy breather on my bike&nbsp\\; and noticed the difference right away, but the dyno tune just went and proved it for me, picked up almost 5 rear wheel horsepower, not much torque added.

It's worth it, but with an 08 you'll need to also add some sort of fuel management to keep from running too lean.

what pipes and engine management are you planning on?&nbsp\\; Just going for looks or do you want power?

My 07 Softail Custom made a huge difference with the air filter, Cobra Fi2000R and less restrictive mufflers.&nbsp\\; Spent less than $350 got big gain in performance.

If you only do 2 things with your bike install new pipes/mufflers and a high flow intake. It makes a difference. Oh, and don't forget the calibration.

I did the stage one on both my bikes.&nbsp\\; Well worth the price.&nbsp\\; Sounds really good on the Heritage.

I did the SEAC and ECM download. I have been very happy with the performance of the SEAC.
