intake ideas
Hi i am new here and i am just looking to get some opinions because this is the first Harley Ive owned. I have an 09` street glide and want to put a cold air/ ram air intake on my bike. im looking for one that will boost my performance the most. Ive looked at hyper chargers but Ive heard they don't work as well as others. what do you all think is the best intake option.

Air intakes add power, but most of the power is at high RPM and high throttle openings. Not a huge benefit under 3000 RPM and 40% throttle, where you normally ride.
After market AC's are mostly for looks no mater what is says on the box

HYPErchargers are crap. I've got a Johnson Engine Technology breather. Great performer. Been thinking about the Heavy Breather just to get my knee off the breather cover.

Sad to say really but Arlen Ness has a new AC out that really looks nice, not his typical stuff.
