Hi,
the backfiring does not indicate that you need another air cleaner. As far as I know the ECM should tolerate either change of the exhaust or change to an "open" air cleaner w/o calibration. Obviously yours does not. So I would assume that your engine (ECM) needs to be re-mapped. In case you're planning on changing the air cleaner anyway, you better re-map after you've installed the a/c. Otherwise you migth need to do it all over again.
Most of the Breakouts I've seen so far use a Screamin' Eagle Heavy Breather. If you want to stick with OEM parts you could also use a SE Ventilator Perf. a/c. But there are also very popular aftermarket parts by Roland Sands (Clarity or Turbine) or Arlen Ness (Big Sucker).
Have fun modding!

Thanks guys, any suggestions on the handlebars? I am 5'2 and really like the drag bars but the reach is really bad, I have short arms.
I had the bike lowered at the dealership, what a mistake, now it scrapes the pavement in turns, going back to the original shocks and get some heels.

Instead of changing the handlebars - if you really like those stock dragbars - you could think about getting a seat that will move you a little bit forward. There is something like a reduced reach seat I guess.

1) OEM reach handlebar, non really a dragbar but more backward oriented, is the same used on FXSBSE CVO Breakout.
2) Risers spacers, 1" or 1,5", aftermarket
3) OEM Reach saddle as EagleRay stated
4) change dragbar with a "V" version, there are many OEM or aftermarket types.
These are the main options I can think of. Maybe one or more of these combined could solve your problem.

You can also go to dannygray.com and check out their solo seat for the Breakout, from the photos I think it already sits you farther forward but they will also custom make one to sit you as closer to the bars.
Per 24v suggestion I put my mirrors under instead of over my apes. I like them better under.

I'm waiting on my swingarm that's getting chromed and a chrome oil tank from Harley. I also just ordered some Big City Thunder Baffles for my Samson Street Sweepers, the volume was too low when I got on it. I'll post pictures as soon as it's done!

Has anyone done any major engine work on their breakout? I'll be calling Jamie over at FM and starting the beginning process of figuring costs for their 107" kit. I'm also going to have them port the heads and looking at either the TW 777 or 888 cams (haven't decided which yet until I talk to Jamie). Upping the compression as well with the kit. I'm figuring somewhere along the $2200 - $2300 range, which, with everything else I've read should put her in the 120-125 range for torque.
