New to the Softail group.
Hello all,
as the title says I'm a noobe to the group, I have an '06 Sporster and been in the sporty group for years, and will be picking up our new 2012 Heritage Softail Classic in two weeks, going to the dealership this weekend for the owners birthday party and my wife and I are going to drool all over our new bike.
Just read the article about the loose rear wheel spokes, going to definitely take a look at that when we pick up the bike, that’s what I like about HD Forums everybody shares there experience and gives everybody else a heads up on problems.
Question, what pipes did you go from the stock pipes?
Is 2 into 1 better?
I have V&H short shots on my sporty with a modified Kuryakan Hyperflo air cleaner box and a K&N filter and had to fatten up the mixture to stop those dreaded POPS on decel. Will I have to remap the engine if I go to new pipes and a free flow air cleaner?
If I have to remap the engine what brand of fuelpac would you recommend?

Ramboamt:
Congratulations on the Heritage Classic coming your way. I recently purchased my very first bike (an 07 Deluxe) from the same dealer in Baldwin Park, Ca. My sales person (Rick) and all the staff were very helpful and really pampered me. They also gave me a SMOKIN deal on a gorgeous, low mile bike.
I may swing by the dealer this weekend for the big shindig as well.

Yes, Ramboamt. A 2-1 is better for torque and performance. You have your pick of thunderheader, Vance n Hines, akropovich, just to name a few of the better performing pipes. Check out the Dyno thread at the top of the titles. A lot of good info there.
And welcome to the Softtail section. If you couldn't tell by other threads already, you better be ready for ALOTTA good natured ribbing here. In here there are ALOTTA sick rydes and even sicker minds!!!
