No sir...while that is the correct “ventilator” for the M8, we are comparing the Stage 1 versus the Arlen Ness (both retain the stock M8 air cleaner cover).

I noticed that also, if you blow the picture up you can see it clear. After the top and bottom rubber the HD may have more open element, kinda weird Ness would do that.

Cooky, was this the "Ventilator" that you were wondering about when you were asking if that was the one being compared? Cause I was wondering the same thing........ I believe the you/I are correct that the one you posted a link of is indeed the one in this Dyno Chart.
