Default Addition of pv2 exhaust etc

Before I sink $1449 into a Fuel Moto purchase of a PV2,ceramic coated pipes,air cleaner upgrade and Jackpot mufflers, just wondering what I can reasonably expect? Am I going to feel like I'm on a different bike performancewise? Thanks for input from others who have done the same

In my opinion yes.. I have that setup and all over performance increase. Snappier throttle response, improved roll on power, certainly better sound and if I am calculating right (not that I was looking for this) slightly better mpg.
In my opinion worth it

Joe did you auto tune your pv2 or did you use the canned map for that setup from Jamie at Fuel Moto?

You will still feel like you are on a Harley not a Hayabusa. You could do it step by step to see the difference, maybe starting with just the PV with a stock improved map and run auto tune. You may be pleasantly surprised how it smoothes the ride out particularly at cruising speeds.

I started with Jamie's map, did a few data log files and an Auto tune. Sent them to Jamie who looked them over, impressed with the results and made a few minor tweaks and sent me a new map based on the collected and tweaks. Each time you do an auto tune I gets it dialed in a bit better. I have asked several about doing a dyno, unless you want to throw away the tune Jamie provides they tell me it's not worth it.

Jake I'm considering the same upgrades and i was wondering why were you going with the ceramic coating on the pipes. Are you going to leave the heat shields off?

I did the exact updates as well. I think it made a noticable difference. I haven't had a chance to do any autotunes yet, but I am certainly going to. Actually I just finished mounting my PV on my bike a few minutes ago. I only loaded the map Jamie sent with it to start, but I will now do some rides and see what it recommends.

I have an appointment with Jamie for the 11th of August for the 2/1/2 SS Ceramic head pipe, Stage 1 air cleaner, Dynajet PV2, and 4" Jackpots. I'm having FuelMoto do the install and doing a Dyno. I know Jamie's maps are pretty accurate but they are generic for the selected setup. I want a map designed for MY bike.

FM told me the ceramic coating could add up to a 55% decrease in the heat felt from exhaust. Even 33% would do wonders

What you can reasonably expect is:
- a reduction in heat on the right side of the bike (CAT removed)
-10-15% increase in power and torque
-a much smoother and crisper running bike

I did my FLHRC in Stages:
-Stage-1 made a noticible difference in how the bike ran and performed.

-Stage -2 (Andrews 48H cams and 2-1-2 header)really woke the bike up and made it lots more fun to ride.

I like Fuel Moto and their products. I don't think you will be disappointed in the results with the parts you have listed.
