Default AN big sucker??

I want one for my 08 SG. I have been checking them out but is it going to matter if I get the stage 1 or the stage 2?

Stage 2 has a little thicker element and will stick out from the back of the football, where the Stage 1 is flush with the back of the cover, if'n you use the stock air filter cover. Prolly will be more susceptible to water intrusion during a frog choking rain too.

If you're not changing the throttle body, Stage I should work just fine.

Engine is only going to suck in as much air as it needs. Stage I is fine for stock. If you are going for a bigger build than a Stage II might be better.

I had theBig Sucker2 and it was uncomfortable to me, stuck out too far. Sold it and bought aBS 1. Happy with it.

Installed a Stage 1 last week its great. Make sure you get the latest greneration. For me it stopped the carb drool which made big mess on bag.
