I know alot of people like them but I don’t find alot of relief with mine. I’m convinced getting rid of the cat is the way to go

I had one installed about a month after picking up my new 22 SGS last year.

I love it. It’s a lifesaver for the wife’s leg. Before the fan, her right leg absolutely cooked in stop and go traffic in the heat. To the point she didn’t want to ride with me in the heat anymore (she never had a problem on my Dyna).

The fan fixed that issue and even solo, it keeps the heat from rising up off the cat into my leg and side when I’m stopped in traffic.

I put it on auto mode and leave it alone and it does it’s job.

I have one with midframe deflectors, the only heat I feel is from the air filter (metal frame of SE ventilator extreme), this is on stage 1 107 with stock header.

It’s a factory fan that blows hot air radiating from the cat down away from the passengers right leg. Gimmicky? It simply moves air. I can attest that my wife’s leg no longer cooks after the install. YMMV.

Yes de-catting would be better if you don’t care about your warranty.

Even without cats the fan would still help.

One of you might have installed it backwards.
