2018 fxlr stage 1 suggestions

I have a 2018 softail lowrider and am looking to do a stage one. For pipes im between fab 28, 2bros, and thrashin. If anyone has experience with any please give your opinion.

im not really sure what air cleaner to get i just know i dont want anything big like the cone style or big oval. Im leaning toward the s&s or screaming eagle but am open to suggestions. I would prefer lower profile.

And as far as tuner i dont have a pc so the dynojet is out. For some reason i keep coming back to the fuel pack but i dont have any experience or knowledge on tuners so again any advice is appreciated.

Gidday mate ,
I like you have just been through this dilemma , Ive had little steps along the way.
Rinehart Slip ons when i bought the bike.
FP3 Fuelpack last week installed now.
Looking for the air cleaner now i am liking the Arlen ness Velocity 65 chrome.
The 3.5inch Slip ons and FP3 are so so good , bike runs so smooth no jerky jerky sewing machine any more

A Stage I for me was mostly to make more noise, but I wanted to be able to use these components in future upgrades.
S&S Super Street race exhaust.
Arlen Ness Big Sucker AC.
Power Vision tuner.
Fuel Moto pre loaded the tune to make it easy for me.
Runs great.

If you want low profile....Get the high flow backing plate and use you existing Breather....
That's what I did on my Slim..
