Air Cleaner Advice

For the next year, I will be doing a D&D Bobcat and an Air Cleaner. Will be using SEPST for dyno tuning.

At the end of the year or so, plans for a 1250 kit are going to be in play when it is shut down for the winter.

So, what is the best air cleaner out there? SE Stage 1 or SE Heavy Breather or?????? Looking for max airflow that doesn't involve leaving the AC off.

TIA

You can't go wrong with Dan Dunn's NRHS Performance intakes.

If you want to keep your AC cover:

If you like the look of a round intake with exposed K&N filter:

Here's my NRHS round with a Kuryakyn trap door:

I'll have to give NHRS a call and see which is the best flowing one. I'm good either way with looks.

You too. Answered a whole bunch of questions. I know where my 1250 kit at the end of 2012 is coming from.

I have a SE stage I hybird intake. I have the stage I backing plate, the K&N filter that is made for the stage I kit and then have an aftermarket AC cover that I moded to make the filter open, but still have a nice looking cover-think of a oval big sucker. It looks cool and works well, but the money I have it that you could get a diffreat set up, but my cover is a one off deal. Sorry no pix

I can get the Heavy Breather for $240. How good is it? The Stage 1 is better than the Stock and High Flow on but how does it compare with the Heavy Breather?

I forgot to mention, NRHS is a serious consideration too. Although the S&S does look like it works well. Does anyone have any kind of flow numbers for any of them? I see that NRHS has dyno numbers but I am looking to see if anyone else has some sort of numbers for their system.
