Description
An S&S teardrop air cleaner is the straightforward path to measurable horsepower gains on your Big Twin—no internal engine work required. By improving airflow to your carburetor, you’ll notice sharper throttle response and better overall engine efficiency. This is the kind of bolt-on upgrade that delivers real performance without compromise.
The S&S teardrop design has earned its reputation for a reason: it flows better than stock, looks aggressive, and integrates seamlessly with most OEM carburetors and S&S performance intake systems. The included cover, backing plate, and high-quality filter element are manufactured to S&S standards in the U.S.A., so you’re getting a complete, engineered solution rather than a generic aftermarket piece.
Keep in mind that optimizing your engine’s full potential may require re-jetting your carburetor or a quick tune-up session—this is standard practice when you’re changing your intake flow characteristics, and it ensures you’re running at peak efficiency.
