All "looks" and poor performance...do a search & you'll see the issue(s). Main problem is poor air circ. in intake cowling...created little "vortex" affects which cause issues. Better off w/HD's heavy breather...JMO.

I don't understand all the negitive PR. I ran one for years and never had a problem and it performed well. And with the right pipe combo it produces a sound second to none.

While the Hypercharger looks like a "ram" air intake, the hole located on the backside, rear-end of the can, allows air flowing into the front of the can to flow past the carb/TB intake and out of the hole. This flow-by creates a negative pressure across the carb/TB opening, actually reducing intake air to the motor.

Not only has the Hypercharger been repeatedly proven on a dyno to be a poor performer, it performs even worse on the the road at higher speeds.
