Thanks for the advice all. I am definitely sold on the TTI for now and will take it from there regarding performance. Looking forward to improved sound too. I thought that the ShortShots sounded a bit better than the Radius without the baffle. Now if only they were chrome instead of black... haha.

Good point. I think I will put the TTIs in to make sure the pipes are good and then see if anyone wants to trade for black powedercoated pipes in the classifieds. Failing that, I probably will buy something else. I just think that chrome looks better on cobalt blue unless I am going to black out almost everything else.

The biggest thing is to decide do you want looks or performance? A 2-1 will give you better #s but in my opinion they arent for everyone. I havent found a 2-1 that I like. According to v&h the big radius is supposed to give better #s than the shortshots. I took off my straight shots and replaced them with rinehart crossbacks. I did notice a fairly big difference in power all the way through the rpm range. Good luck whichever you decide.
You could use the Thunder Torques, they are not a interim solution, you can use them as long as you would like. They Increase low and mid range torque and have adjustable sound and volume. This way you can get the sound that you like best.
At the link below you can see more information and pictures on the Thunder Torque Inserts. Hope this helps you out

Question
Kelsey: Can you tell me which one I should get for a 2015 Wide Glide with stock pipes? I'm thinking it's the 158 but I'm not 100% sure. Thanks!

, but I'm betting you'll have better results with the W258's in the stock pipes. There was a great thread in the Sportster Forum and some posters discovered the larger TTI's in their stock pipes gave better results, I found the W158's in my Big Shots work very well, they nearly fill the pipe giving great low end and a sweet tone.Here's the DK Custom fitment FAQ: http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/Choo...TI-FIT-FAQ.htm

Thanks for all the links and info
Hey Edsal,
The link that has been shared above about fitment explains to you how to get the size, that would be best for you. If you would like or if it is easier for you, you can always email us at support@dkcustomproducts.com or send me a PM and let us know the diameter of the pipe and we can help you out with getting the right size
