Performance intake?

Also, some of the Stage .5 air cleaners can be modified to route the hot oily air into the atmosphere, instead of into the intake.
No, it does not. On the heavy breather the bolts going into the heads have holes in them, routing the hot oily air thru the bolts, then thru internal channels in the backplate, emptying out into the throttle body, reducing performance and longevity of the engine.

Hopeful thinking: is that kit by chance one that can be modified to vent out?
Thanks for the reply, tho that's very disappointing... I had given the instructions a quick read before purchasing, and the way it's put together made me think that it wasn't routing it back in (but I wasn't sure where it was routed, it seemed "stopped").

Our Outlaw Breather Bolts will work with many set-ups, but not this one.

Yes, you can use the stock breather bolts, and put some hose on the end and run it to a filter or down to below the bike. It will require NOT using those two chrome caps that some with the kit...instead that is where the hose will exit.

@DK- Quick question, a friend of mine has your AC setup on his 1200 EFI sportster and he is getting some oil coming out of his breather bolts that is dripping down the backside of his filter housing. Is this because he overfilled his oil? Should his oil only be filled to half way up on the dip stick to prevent this? In the past if you have had this issue with customers has there been an issue that has caused it most of the time?
Thank you!
Thank you!

I have settled on the Arlen Ness Big Sucker for several reason's, no oil misting due to the internal breathers and the workmanship is the best I have seen. They are avail at Leatherup.com for about $120 with a 10% discount code. Oops, may have mispoke, I missed we were talking about a Sporty, I was giving my opinion on a TC.
