I am running stock pipes and a K&N air cleaner.

I have to agree with you, running stock pipes the XIEDs perform well. With slip ons, its a different story.

Why would you need them if you are running stock pipes? You only need them if you alter the pipes and the filter not one of the two.

The XIED's kept throwing O2 codes, pipes popped badly, and the bike bogged down heavily if dialed up to high. Even with it dialed up, the pipes still popped badly. This was with V&H slip ons only, and no intake mod at that time.
I did not know you had gotten them from us. Please contact us via phone or our email (see below). Not sure why Steve did not offer an exchange or refund...but we do...if they are less than a year old we will exchange them or refund you.

The XL-ViED-14's work great on the 14 &15 Sportster to reduce heat, reduce surging and increase acceleration...whether on a stock Sporty, a Stage I Sporty or in-between.

We are sorry that you did not experience that. Your experience is definitely an anomaly, and we will make it right with you.

Harley's, because of EPA regs, run extremely lean from the factory. Even if you add the FL-ViED-14's to a stock bike it will run much better.

I have been looking at the XiEDs and X14iEDs for an '08 Nightster. The bike is currently stock but will probably run a set of slips on and possibly a K&N air filter. I'm having a tough time figuring out what exactly the differences are between these (and other tuning options... Fuelpak, Power Commander, Fuel Moto, etc.). Is it just that these are non-adjustable? How do the benefits compare? I see these can add up to 6-8% fuel, that seems like a lot... I am assuming MPG's take a hit? Came across X14iED used for $50, so I am trying to decide.

The XiED makes the bike run a bit richer than the XiED14 (13.8:1 vs 14.0:1 air/fuel ratio)

I have a 2011 Nightster and have the Xieds. I am at stage 1 and used to get a lot of decel pop, but after the Xieds I hardly ever get one at all. I agree it does take a couple hundred miles for them to work the best.

These don't 'remap' your ECM do they? From the description, it appears to piggyback onto the map and modify the mixture real-time. Is that fairly accurate?

btw, i kinda like the little pop-pop-pop my stock pipes make when downshifting.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. Richens the mixture and makes the bike run cooler.

What does adding more fuel to the mix actually do for the bike?
