At least send back the fuelpac and get a real tuner.

The only specialty tool that you'll need is a torque wrench, for two (2) reasons:
1) To seat the crush gaskets for the head pipe, and
2) To secure the mufflers/cross-over to the head pipe.

After the install you may want to re-torque the exhaust flanges twice after heat cycles. That's what my dealer did when he installed my Jackpot 2-1-2.

Just did a stage one on my 2012 RKC last weekend. No worries; crush gaskets go in pretty easily. Getting the old ones out was harder, and that wasn't difficult at all. Enjoy the improved performance and throttle response.

Awesome man, thank you. Pretty noticeable?

Absolutely! What you will notice right away is the throttle response; it's right there! No lag, no hesitation. The power increase is noticeable in the seat of the pants too! You'll be happy....!

I can't wait, I'm stoked. But it sounds as good as I want. I heard fishtails and everything before, never with true dual.
