I have a 2010 Sportster 1200, It has a Screamin Eagle program in it, but the air filter is just the paper one...I wantto up grade it, with at least a K&N filter. Would it be that much better to change the whole air intake system?? It has had the black kinda duct work removed, so the filter is kinda exposed....but still has the blk plastic bracket that the cover n filter attaches to...cost effective, bang for buck is wat I m lookin for. After all is done, shes gonna see some dyno time, buddy says it an open loop, so he can get in there n make sure ll is good..
The design of the factory intake is somewhat restrictive to begin with both at the air inlet and throttle body ends. If you're going to get it tuned you're better off just going with a stage 1 type of intake like a Ness Big Sucker, V&H v02 or the HD SE ones. A K&N filter can be added to any of them if you don't like the paper filter.
You can always check out our air cleaner systems HERE and see what you think, we have dyno charts at the bottom of the page, but a complete system would be a lot better to really open up that intake. Feel free to give us a call or shoot us an e-mail and we would be happy to help with any questions you may have.
DK Customs 587 Outlaw A/C and breather system here. Affordable, easy to install, great customer service and they just look great. My sporty could tell the difference the moment she started up. More power, better sound. Check them out at the DK Custom Products post.
is what I use and I love them! But if you don't like the plain or bell shaped cover you can just as well get yourself a flat plate type end cover at a rather cheap price as well. Either way, you save a few buck here and there.
