I'm lowering the back of my BO this weekend but not sure what kits are available for lowering the front? Does progressive make a kit? what has everyone else used?

who makes a 2 by 2 exhaust with the cross over chamber? or is it better to go to a 2 to 1? I want to keep the low end but also raise the heartbeat.

Vance and Hines Big Shots have a cross over. I really like my 2 into 1 Big Radius, but everyone has them.

Need is a funny word. Many will tel you that you do not need to reprogram until you do filter and exhaust. The factory map is pretty lean to start, so in my opinion, you should recalibrate when making any breathing change from stock.
