HI-FIVE vs. BIG SUCKER???

Is there any huge difference in performance between the Kuryakyn HI-FIVE air cleaner and the Arlen Ness Big Sucker?

IMO if you are planning to replace the OEM on a 2007 HD get the K&N RK3909 kit at Auto Zone for $108!!!
You will be set for like with the best USA made filter!

The Hi-Five comes with a K&N filter and I really like the chrome cover style.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ness Big Sucker - also recommend getting it with the optional Chrome Backing Plate (18-507) Pick one up on E-Bay for less than $116.00 (free shipping)

I have the AN Big Sucker with the chrome backing plate. It's not really a big deal since you can hardly see it behind the stock football cover. Are you going to use the stock cover? I can tell you that this is a very well made part that should last forever. Got mine on Ebay foraround $115.

I know the Sucker is great but is it substantially better then the HI-FIVE. I really like the looks of the HI-FIVE but not if it isn't going to perform close to the Sucker.

I have the Big sucker II and when I first put it on it sounded like a four barrel opening it was pulling that much more air...I can't figure why th MOCO chokes these engines off so bad..... I know about the emissions BS but they still could let them breath a little more!!
