If you compare the filter diameter to the intake diameter tube, you will see that this is actually a VERY small filter element. I think it would not have anywhere near the airflow that the Screamin' Eagle version has.

Yes you can. Only make sure it's legal at you place to run two different type/brands of tire on the front and the rear.
