I like these pipes but they always look like they are sticking out too far. I havent seen them in person. Do they stick out further than stock?

Raaze07 - Conventional Wisdom says that if you are only adding mufflers that you do not need to add an aftermarket ECM tuner, but I disagree. Now, I'm not a technician so my advice is immediately suspect.

But.... I added the MO's onto my existing setup (103" Big Bore Kit, SE Intake, HD Download and stock mufflers) and my bike immediately started running too lean. It seems that in my case the stock mufflers were the "bottleneck" in the system and since the MO's flow so much more air than the stockers, this put me into a lean condition. Since adding a Power Commander to manage the air/fuel ratio the bike runs much better.

Just sayin'....

Thanks Pastor John, that's kind of what I was worried about (making the factory lean condition even leaner). Maybe I'll wait 'till after the 1k service and do it all at once. Does Jamie have a map for the MO's yet on the PCV?

Nice pics, they look great. Glad you are happy with them.

That's the same set up I have, there is nothing better IMO!

Yes, Jamie has a map for the Monster Ovals. Just installed the PCV and air cleaner with MO's. Loving this setup!!

Yes, but not a lot. Maybe another inch or two?

I installed the dresser duels with the Monster Ovals... I think it looks bad ass! However, I do think they could be a little louder and I'm thinking about removing a little bit of the packing to see what it does...

Over all, Im really happy I installed them... I'd just like little more thump out of them!
