Default K&N AC and V&H Monster Ovals

I'm considering installing the new K&N RK-3930 A/C kit along with the V&H Monster Ovals on my 08 Ultra. I'm also considering going with the FuelPak. The question I have is if anyone has these installed and your opinion.

I believe also that the K&N 3930 has a composite plastic backing plate that will warp over time as some have claimed. It's not metal. Once the heat gets to it for a year or few, it will degrade.

Did this combo a few months ago, love it, seems to have more low end torque, pipes not to loud and fuel economy remained around 41-42mpg

Don't have the K&N kit you speak of, but I do have the RSD AC with a K&N, Fuelpak, and MO. The Fuelpak is a very simple installation and works well with the MO. I love the combo. Do it, you won't be sorry!

I have the S/E AC with K&N filter with fuel pack & Monster Ovals and it is a great set up. By going with the S/E AC I was able to go with a round air cleaner cover and give my bike a better look. The combo is excellent and offers great gas mileage IMO.

I have the SE intake (with round cover), Monster Ovals, and Fuelpak. I am very happy. I will say that the ovals are louder than I thought they would be. I heard them at the V&H trailer during Biketoberfest, but they seem louder when you are actually on the bike riding.

The backing plate is NOT plastic. Take a looksee for yourself...

The back plate is the same size as the element so one would have to stay with the OEM "football" cover as mentioned here.
