If I had to have one of those two, it'd be the Arlen Ness Big Sucker, which is at least a serious air cleaner. But in reality I wouldn't choose either.

Here's my NRHS round air cleaner:

I also have the Big sucker but have pretty much eliminated it little by little by adding an oil by pass to the ground, mad my own cover, made my own backing plate.
Heck the only thing from that B/S kit I am using is the round K&N filter.

Folkie-that set up looks pretty cool.

Whether you see any performance gains or not will depend very much on what pipes you have. I felt there was a significant difference in performance going from the Dragtron II to the NRHS round a/c, which I didn't expect.
