If you get the DK make sure to use some lock tight thread or whatever it's called!!! I lost mine a few nights back on a back road and couldn't find it. It would come loose every now and then and I'd just tighten it back down.

I went with a joker machine contrast to replace it just because I wanted something different since I was having to buy something new... I didn't want to spend money just to get the same thing I already had.

I just ordered the NRHS Hurricane. You still have a ham can when you are done but it really seems to do the job. They do have a round model too.

Thanks everybody... Big Sucker is out. Guess I need to spend some more time with the Figure Machine air cleaner and make up my darn mind!

Pantera: Did you like the DK while you had it? Loctite goes on everything.

I got the DK Outlaw Air Filter and it is awesome. Its not too big, not too small.Stupid easy to install. It does give you a performance boost and it just looks badass all around. If you go with DK you will not be dissapointed! Their product is amazing and so is their customer service.
