Default Is outlaw 587 a/c pointless?

I have a 2015 RGS and ordered my stage 1 stuff ( not though dealer) Outlaw 587 ac, rush 7017ho, and sepro tuner. I usually do my own work but with it being my first brand new bike with warranty I decided to take it to Harley and let them install and tune. The service guy tried pretty hard to talk me out of using the outlaw 587. He basically said it was a waist of time on new bikes and wanted me to just change the backing plate. What is yalls opinion on this?

As a rule, I tend to ignore what I am told inside a dealership regarding parts. I use the same A/C you use. When I was researching the whole A/C upgrade deal, I knew I wanted something that took in more air, and was just good for the bike. What sold me was the external breather. I couldn't find any that came with the parts except for The Outlaw 587. Also, their customer service is too notch!!! I literally research all of my parts from the guys on this forum. As far as parts to make my bike look good, I have no problem buying from the dealership. But performance?! Nah, I will listen to my brothers on here who have bought, installed, and reviewed the products. Sad, but it seem like aftermarket part manufacturers just put more effort and research into their products!

Thanks for the reply, I've ordered plenty from dk never had an issue. I told the service guy I bought the 587 and wasn't returning it with out trying it first. If I don't like I with order a different one and install it myself it shouldn't effect the tune. He said well you need that style anymore the motors run cleaner now. I researched a pretty good bit before the purchase and guy in here seem to love em.

I just don't like the internal breathers. I want to keep the engine clean as possible! I can do that with the external breather on the Outlaw 587. I seen a lot of others I liked, Screamin Eagle, Performance Machines, Big Suckers, but they all had internal breathers so I passed and went with what I knew. Jmho, but I think you made the right decision. Nothing wrong with the guys that like them, to each their own. I just don't want that stuff put back into the engine.
