Heavy breather looks cool but it covers the front cylinder, not my cup of tea.

The breather caps on mine leak and mist my rear rocker cover everytime I ride...neighbor down the street has the same problem...nice looking, but this is the reason I went with Big Sucker on my Xbones

My motor guy claims that the SE Heavy breather cost me a pony or two on the dyno compared to say the Big sucker or some other traditionally shaped hi-po filter.

Told me to stick my head out the window of my car going 75MPH and see how well I could breathe. Then went on telling me how my 2-2 pipes suck at making power just as well.

Told him I didnt give a Rats fart about 1-2 horsepower. That thing looks trick as hell on most bikes.....As do my power robbing 2-2 BSS pipes!

Claims the combination of that 2-2 pipe and that SE Heavy breather are keeping me from making 100+ HP on my mild stage 3 build.
