Default A/C Choice

Question for those all knowing...

Will be doing exhaust (either V&H ovals or TD Rine), PCIII, and A/C in the next few weeks. I know there is a different flow rate and thicknessbetween the K&N 3909/3910, and it also appears the 3909 isjust finefor this upgrade.

My question is what's the difference between the Ness Sucker and the K&N? I understand that with the Ness you can't reuse stock cover, but aside from that, any real difference in quality/design, etc.

If the wife only knew........

Thanks
Ezzzz

Ness also offers a CHROME BACKING PLATE... & you can pick one up on E-Bay for around $99.00 - $119.00...

Have had dozens of friends change over to Ness Big Sucker and not one of them has been sorry for doing it!!!

SE and ness are near the same, ness has better crankcase vent system, and filter is reusable too.
Also excepts K&N filters. Stock cover works fine same as it does on the SE
