Do the intakes that face forward have more air flow than say a AN big sucker? And if I am getting my bike retuned, should I change it out before the tune?

I actually like the ones that have 2 elements. What would you suggest as I have only used AN BIg Suckers on both bikes that we have?

Thanks

 

Changing air filters will change air flow which influences the tune of your engine. The forward facing air cleaners add length and volume to the intake tract as "seen" by the engine and will also afect the tune. So in closing yess it should be one before you dyno tune your engine.

 

Thats what thought but wanted to make sure. Now the loaded question.....

Which one to buy?

 

I have the heavy breather from h/d I like it but there are many on the market I like mine because it turns up as it goes forward and even if I get blow buy while I am running the hell out of it it does not drip oil.

 

Also showes of the diamond cut well. Nice and open around the jugs.

 

 

Hey monkish, thanks for starting this thread. I'm also considering a 90 degree intake and am looking forward to hearing some input. I think I am going with a Wimmer Machine 90:


as I have heard some good stuff about them.

 

Wimmer there is no substitute!

 

Wimmer or S&S for the dual filter,the heavy breather from HD is what Im using and I really like it

 

I think the looks of these filters are bad a@# but I have a concern about them and it is why I have not bought one so with that said I have a stupid question.
What happenes if you get caught in the rain or stuck in wet driving conditions with one of these??
Will all that water get sucked into your motor??
