Question Air Cleaners???

whats up everyone i'm thinking about upgrading my A/C and looking for your thoughts. i was thinking of either the HD Heavy Breather or the slim profile Screaming Eagle. i already have V&H 2 into 1 and plan on retuning when i get the new A/C. are the HD cleaners worth the price or is there a better brand?

SE Heavy Breather or Arlen Ness Big Sucker are good hi-po air cleaners.

1+ on the SE Heavy Breather. Although pricey, it looks great and it does not stick out too far to get your leg around. I can vouch for performance from my dyno. Good luck.

Plus 1 on the arlen ness big sucker it already comes with a K&N filter and not a bad price for it... The K&N filter alone is 50.00 bucks... If you buy just the SE Stage 1 kit it has a paper filter that sucks and looks gross. What kind of a look you going after?
