Default Air filter element?

Hey Fella's, does anybody offer a good high flow element that fits in the stock air filter? I don't need to spend much cash on this thing and I'm planning on the PC V and Thunder Header Slip-ons. I'm trying to get past that $250 for the AC & AF.

K&N on Ebay for about $65 . Trim the plastic backing plate to open it up and your good to go.

I just installed a K&N RK-3930 kit on my 09. http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?Prod=RK-3930 It comes complete with new cast back plate with internal breather, hardware, and a K&N filter (naturally) that is a little larger than stock. You re-use your stock air cover and it doesn't project out any more than the stock set-up which is nice. Recently there was a test, I think in American Iron, showing that this kit gave a 6HP increase even w/o re-mapping. It sells for $249 but I ordered it from Auto Zone for $179.

I got the Fuel Moto AC for $129. Inculdes their custom AC back plate, hi flo filter and maintenance kit. They say it is better than K&N's back plate, but I don't have anything to compare to. I like it

The Arlen Ness filter with the Arlen Ness logo on the front is an AirRaid filter. I was curious so I e-mailed Arlen Ness tech support.
