Best performance air cleaner for the stock 117

[Cshores]

I have researched on this site about air cleaners and there are quite a few to choose from but I have a question.

Which one is the best bang for the buck regarding pure "results" from a performance perspective?

I was quoted $1500 for a S&S Dual Runner installed with re-jetting included.

But then I see the Hypercharger PRO version for just $300 bucks (not installed).

What is the way to go if you are just looking to enhance performance but could care less about "pretty". I don't want ugly either.

Any opinions or details are appreciated.

I got the s&s system. You can hear it sucking in the air. Awesome sound...

I'd perform a search on said subject. There's quite a few on here using the Dual Runner and IMHO $1500 is ridiculous ....Order it online, install it and rejet yourself and save $1000+ ......
It'll take ya maybe three hours ... Jet size I'm sure has been discussed on here...

You have an S&S system and it's about the best your going to get. All the rest are eye candy

Love my S&S Dual Runner. But installed myself and jetted for a fraction of 1500.00

Take your S&S air cleaner and drill 1/2" holes side by side in it all around the bottom of it to pull extra air and rock on. You can do it where they are never seen as I did...
Here is a thread on it already. A lot of good info.

Velocity stack with a screen for nothing but performance. I wouldn't run it on the street though. Even with a 100 mesh screen. I've seen 100 mesh sand and wouldn't want it in my motor.

Namads trick with a better flowing air filter and you are good to go.

Neil has it right. Mod the stocker, or ......................... :up:
The BEST, HIGHEST FLOWING air cleaner out of the box is: Kuryakyn Hi-Five Mach 2. :2thumbs:
The earlier Hi-Five air cleaners, also are just as good. :2thumbs:

Thanks for the feedback. I thought $1500 bucks for the S&S Dual Runner installed was a bit high myself. No better time than the present to learn how to work on my mechanical skills. I really need some extra boost on the bike but don't want to go broke to get it.

I appreciate the information.

OK, I have to ask the obvious question. Why isn't the S&S Dual Runner intake the best performing intake filter setup? I mean, S&S did created it and we have S&S motors.

Have you looked at Wimmer?

Wimmer Custom Cycle

 

[Nukeranger]

Yep

 

[Cshores]

I just looked at the Wimmer stuff. I likey. If all are equal then for pure looks I like the Wimmer or the Mach 2 and of course the Dual Runner.

 

[stlmikie]

I have the wimmer. I've nothing bad to say about it. At all. I'm putting down good numbers as well with a not so great exhaust.
