should i get a hypercharger?

I was going to get the screaming eagle high flow kit for my 2001 xlh 883 (and the jets too). this will cost appx 150.00

then i saw the hypercharger. they are so f-ing cool looking. i was thinking why not spend 275.00 (with the jet kit) and get the super awesome, show stopping, coversation piece instead?
what do you guys think?

well, from what i have seen about brutus is that he doesnt hold any punches in this forum.
hyperchargers are talked about in this forum, and it seems they are all sho no-go.

maybe i will get the S E one and keep the stock look.

You should get what you want gay or not... I can see asking if it performs better but personalize your scoot to fit you.

Ironically, that's all they are. No performance gains, and if the vacuum unit for the inlets fails, it'll directly effect your vacuum operated venturi slide, as well as much required vacuum to your VOES unit, effecting how your bike will run.

I agree they look cool.....but the money could be better spent on something else that would benefit you, IMHO. Like beer.....

Like facn8me said....it's your scoot..... do what you want.
