Default Air cleaner kit

Im wondering something. I was asked by a friend if the Arlen Ness big sucker kit and Screaming Eagle filter kit are a big difference. To me in pictures they look pretty much the same design other then the filter.

Any feed back would be great since my friend is debating on one or the other.

Thanks

The AN vents thru the aluminum housing into the venturi area, where the SE vents externally into the filter area. I have both, and for my $ the AN is a better designed backing plate which greatly reduces the incidence of oil "vapor" leaking into the filter and dopping down, which is such a common problem.

I feel the opposite of gman...

I have had both...I had more oil blow-by from the AN than Stg I. I got a buddy with the AN and he hasn't had any problems.

Just my .02

I have the AN kit and have had no problems with it. I don't notice any difference between the two myself, and I bought the AN kit on e-bay and the receipt they sent me was stated it was a SE1 kit, but it was an AN box.

You might also look at this http://www.speedsperformanceplus.com...w-air-cleaner/
I run this w/crank vents. With the crank vents you get rid of the blow-bye away from the motor, and get rid of the crank pressure too.
