Leave the Cat,it has twice the capacity of the old Twincam.
Looking on the P&A website, I cant find a SE filter specified for fitment in the stock unit. Where did you see that it fits the stock unit?

I saw that one, but the fitment is throwing me off. looking at the parts and instructions sheet, I dont see that filter being set up for the original breather hose. I have not seen it up close and in person,but My guess is its not for the stock setup.

Fits '17-later Touring and Trike models "equipped with" Wedge High-Flow Air Cleaner Kit P/N 29400245 or 29400246

I only looked at fitment, you're right looks like you would need the high flow backing plate to use that one. Will this one work?

Did the Stage II torque cam upgrade lower your mpg? If so, how much?

Mostly 2-up riding and torque cam would help.
This was my original post....update....
I went to 3 different HD dealers.....and guess what ?????? I got 3 different quotes/prices. I asked for the same thing at all three....$985 ... $1450 ..... $1850 ...... i am amazed that if someone isn't informed what a racket...

Now the differences:
$985 i was not asked nor did I ask if the same rods were going to be used,but so what!! if they re-use the same ones.....tunes ( i am assuming a download)
$1450 they would use the adjustable puch rods, but then i question this, if the adjustable push rods are used shouldn't the labor be reduced as it's making the instal alot faster. (I am going to assume download )
$1850, was no adjustable push rods, but with a download, but if it wasn't good then a dyno tunes would be done.

Choices choices ....
