OP: You should ultimately be happy with the 2 into 1 exhaust as you will have more back pressure, hence more torque. With that said, you will need another tune. If you bought your PCV from Fuel Moto, give them a call and they can point you towards a map that will get you closer... and ultimately, help your tuner if you decide you need one. If you didn't go through FM, Dynojet's website has a bunch of maps that you can play with. I had a tune done a few years ago and it was fine..... until the temps went over 90 degrees. I have played with maps for 2 years and now can ride with power and confidence in any weather and my cam only cost me 1-2 MPG. Good luck.
I'm excited to get some of my power back. I'm not looking for gobs of power but I do want to go up hills 2 up without having to downshift.

Me personally? I'd do the suspension first for safety and comfort.

What are you the least happy with? In the beginning of this thread it was about the pipe. You can change the suspension but you will still be running the mufflers that were robbing your power.
Not that its right, but I wrote everything down I wanted to change. Put them in order of importance, if and when I could afford it, and so I didn't do anything twice. Example, when I put the 106 kit on I had the last 15 pieces powder coated on the motor. That way I didn't have to take it apart twice. I had to wait a little longer for the funds to be there though.
In the end its your call. Make sure you purchase what YOU like and what fits your needs

Got the new thunder header 2 into 1 on the bike. The sound is loud. As loud as the cfr's were so no change there. I'm having it tuned on the 13th at American Cycles in Ingram, tx. They don't have a dyno but they're a certified installer for the power Commander V. Right now the power band is broad and smooth but no big change in power noticed. We'll see what happens after a new map is installed.
Thanks again for all the advice. I'll write a review when the tune is finished.
