Default Big sucker help
Hello, a quick question, my brother Luca wants to make a stage 1 on his CB2011 he would like to buy a derby sucker , will it be good for the stage one? what main difference between Derby sucker and Big sucker?
Thank you
Max


p.s

he wants the derby sucker only for the look that he prefer over the big sucker. as ECU mod he will buy a Power Vision like me.

they're the exact same thing, except the outer edge of the derby sucker is designed to take a derby cover (off of a primary cover) and use that as an air filter cover.

No it's a different K&N filter on it, but the base plate is the same, it's just a different cover for looks.
