almost all aftermarket air cleaners will flow more CFM that the motor can ever use.
one of the exceptions is the "hype"-charger.
A cupped hand held near the intake will flow more than that.
the best available bang for buck is the Ness Big Sucker w/chrome backing plate for about $120 on ebay from easternpc
washable, oiled filter media and an easier install than the similar screaming eagle air cleaner ( which has paper disposable filter).
The Heavy Breather will leave the throttle body plug ( at 9 o'clock on 2008+ models) exposed, and it is ugly
Some years ago Hot Bike did a test with air cleaners for 80" evos.
as i recall the stock flowed about 136 CFM, the Hype flowed about 148 CFM. the Screaming Eagle ( which at the time used a washable. oiled K&N filter) and others were up at 280+ CFM

If you want performance, look at a high-flow air intake such as the Screeming Eagle.
If you want a gimmick to look cool, get the hypercharger.
A lot of guys running the hypercharger removed them after they got their bike dynoed because of the loss of performance.
