Default Carlini v's RSD intakes

Well I'm down to two I really like the look of the chrome RSD turbine and the chrome Carlini high roller. I am planning on the Carlini gangster 16" apes with chrome high roller risers but feel both would look good with the set up I am building in my head right now. The RSD seems to expose more filter not sure if it flows any better, so does anyone have experience of either I have a 96 stage one right now with velocity stack..hence the reason I want to switch to a filtered intake

I'd go with the RSD over the Carlini.

Flow will be be pretty much the same with either. It is more a question of what look you like better. I have the high roller risers so the high roller a/c would look great but I recently got a PM merc instead. Either one will look great.

Each one has their own unique characteristics that makes it what it is. Tough call.

id love to know how you installed this on a 09 softail because I can’t find one for those years and can’t seem to get the only one they actually sale to bolt up.
