Anyone had any complaints about the name plate falling off? Been reading some reviews on that. Does this breather out perform the stock heavy breather on the ST models?
Hi, no complaints about the plate falling off. As for the Heavy Breather vs. the Extreme Wedge, both intakes draw in similar volumes of air, but the Wedge gives you "faster" access to clean air directly to the throttle body. For the Heavy Breather, the filter element is not directly in a path to the wind as you are riding and you're dealing with a 90-degree neck - it takes a little longer for the air to travel around the element, through the neck, and into the throttle body. With the Extreme Wedge, the filter element is all around the intake and very close to the throttle body, giving more avenues to get air into the throttle body more quickly.
Is there any difference in performance from the wedge to the snorkel on an ST model?
