Default Screamin' Eagle need a High Flow AC?

Just bought a 2011 FLHXSE2 on eBay and it will be here in about a week or so.

I have what may be a dumb question, but here goes anyway: The first thing I always do (I've bought 6 new Harley's since 2006) is take the OE air cleaner and replace with a SEAC. Do I need to do that with a Screamin' Eagle/CVO 110, or will the factory AC suffice?

It already has V&H Dresser Duals/Twin slash slip-ons (however no SERT, PCV or Fuel Pak...go figure).

Thanks,

Bob

If it has the original air intake the Screamin Eagle 110 comes with a stage one.

When it comes in, take a look and see if it has been changed...

Default Seac

It appears to have the stock oval one that says "110" on it. I'm trying to find out if the stock one is hi-flow or if it needs to be replaced.

That is the Ventilator and is a stage 1 filter. It is a paper filetr though so I would replace the filter itself with an K and N fabric model. I think it was $55 when I did mine.

You would think that the factory ac would be the SE one on a SE. But it's not. When I put on my PCV, I have to buy and install the HD SE ac.

Dan,

What year are we talking? I know the last few years many of the CVOs have been coming with the Ventilator AC and it is certainly a high flow, stage 1.

+1, The Ventilator is already a high flow A/C, just change the actual filter unit, and your set, you can buy the K&N filter at the dealer.
