Air cleaner difference ?
Hey all ..
Right now I have a stage 1 open air cleaner ... and am looking at the SE heavy breather ...
My question is .. is there a difference in performance or are they about the same ?

You are not likely to see any performance gain. The air cleaner you have will supply all the air the engine needs. If you want to change it for looks that is one thing. But unless you go to a larger engine with cams, head work and etc there is no value in it performance wise.

Once you ditch that restricted stock air cleaner and housing, just about any OEM free-flow air cleaner will open up the intake to the point where they're delivering more air than the engine can even use.
They will more or less all "perform" the same - so all you're really shopping for is looks...
