Default Made the Exhaust Investment

Thanks to all of you who helped guide my decision. This wasn't a simple one. Taking everything into account it became apparent that a 3rd party "intervention system" as I like to call those PC-V or Fuel Pak's was not the way to go for me. Instead I opted for the Screamin' Eagle Super Pro Tuner with the SE Stage 1 Air Kit and the Vance and Hines BBS exhaust.

I'm having my dealer do the work, don't mind paying them as they've always been straight with me...not to mention fair. Don't want to work on the bike myself, I want to RIDE it.

Thanks again.

Not the choice I would have made but as long as it works for you. Good on you.

Good Luck with it.

Don't you mean Vance & Hines Big Shots Staggered? I don't see anything on their website for BBS?

Not a bad choice, but I have a hard time seeing whats wrong with a power comander 5. I along with numerous other are running it with zero problems. It one of the better systems out there I feel for tuning a bike with just about any motor combo mild to wild. Just find a good tuner and your set. But either way, you got quality parts too.

Cool

All of that drama for a set of V&H pipes?
I clicked on this thread thinking that I might see something the other 99% of riders don't have..

So...you own a bike, but don't want to wrench on it...??? Riding in only one part of bike ownership...working on it is equally as satisfying - you might want to invest in service manual & try it someday.

If you can change go for the powercommander V with the autotune kit, because everytime you chance something it wil change your settings. Even when you go for example in to the mountains. Does your dealer have Dyno? Because it will only run well when it goes on the dyno, the autotune is like a kind of dyno.
