Default SE Air Cleaner?

Anybody have this done? What did you notice afterwards? More torque/hp? Better or worse mpg? More vibration? Less vibration?
&nbsp\\;
Am I correct in thinking that if you do the SE AC, you also HAVE TO remap?
&nbsp\\;
What's the total price tag for this whole thing?
&nbsp\\;
Much appreciated,
TLM

I got about 3 HP increase with the SE A/C, not much more torque if any.&nbsp\\; Yes, you must remap if you do the A/C\\; remap costs about $160 from the dealer.&nbsp\\; The bike chatters a bit more under low speed load, local&nbsp\\;indy says H-D remap is a bit lean, but not bad enough to warrant spending $350 on a PCIII.&nbsp\\; Overall I'm happy.&nbsp\\; Did the SE slip ons, too\\; nice combination.&nbsp\\; Worth doing both IMO.

I paid 150 for the remap and $140 for the AC. Recommend at least doing a re-map if you put on the SE AC. I put them on with my V&amp\\;H shortshots and it "woke up" the bike. Runs much better now.

I did mine as well with just V&amp\\;H Slipons and I am not real sure how much improvement it made from without it with just the slipons.&nbsp\\; But when I did it, I made sure I went and had it dyno'd.&nbsp\\; But mine was a little cheaper since it was carb'd and didn't need a computer remap.&nbsp\\; I know from stock, I went from 65hp to 80 with the slip'ons and AC.&nbsp\\; Good luck.

Have the V&amp\\;H staightshots with the screamin Eagle air breather, smoked a 2007 Fatboy with a 96 cubic inch with my girlfriend on the back of my bike. Do I need to say more?
