You don't need to tune for mufflers. The stock headpipe is still restrictive so you really don't get any added performance. They sound better,that's it. If you are after performance try a pro-pipe

These don't use the stock head pipe, they are a 1 piece header/muffler, not a slip-on.

You switched from stock to Short Shots + Air Intake + Tuner and you are saying you have no complaints with performance? Thats not a fair comparison at all, if you had a stock bike and you only changed the pipes now that is a real comparison. You bike will automatically increase its performance just because of the intake and the tuner... You cannot comment on short shot performance unless you only switch exhausts.

Take the baffles out and put thunder tourqe inserts from dk customes. My are 587 inserts I think. It seems to have more torque and sounds deeper.

I see you're running the Santee lake pipe on your Street Bob
I was thinking of getting them for my 2013 Sportster 72 ( with the shorter 5" end )
Did you have any fitment problem on your Street Bob?
How do they perform compared to what you had?
How loud are they?
Thank you in advance for info
