Aight guys and gals..... I really want to know which adapter to buy for my Hypercharger & or Spear Air Intake???? Are the L&M Adapter Better Than The PCS Adapter???? Im planning on changing up my intakes every now and then and eventually would like to get the Intake that Nyjol has I know that the L&M is interchangeable for Harley intakes but does the PCS ones do the same???

Just by going off looks alone... I might go with the PCS. The LM looks bulbous. Performance/quality wise I have no idea.
Im with you on that lol.... L&M Looks like a Heart Shape....... Heart Shape = ***** Shape lol...... But they say its adaptable to pretty much any type of AIR Cleaner????

If you look at the mounting holes between the two for the air cleaner, they look identical. I would venture to guess the PCS can mount anything the LM does.

I picked up an L&M adaptor and just put it on. Yes it is heart shaped, "kinda gay", but its that way for a reason. If you look at the overall design its designed to flow better. The inner plate is also shaped to flow better, you know kinda ported. It looks like the other adaptor is just two chuncks of material, I don't know what its made of? It dosn't look like it would flow well? The L&M also has a better plenumn, larger area between filter and throttle body, might also make it work better?

X2

SJ is right on this. The flow rates may be relatively close but I think the L&M flows more. Also with the design of the L&M intake it will smooth the air flow into the throttle body which causes better atomization of the fuel, ie..better fuel economy and more power. Someone should do a dyno test and MPG test on the two.
