Well I thought I had ordered the proper p clamp from surdyke but my dealer just called me to follow up on my parts question and it looks like I may not have. So now I have parts coming from two places, the dealer had to order the top and bottom section of the clamp separately from HD. May have to wait a little longer to see what shows up. Ah well

You could go ahead and install it without the P clamp, just have to take the front heat shield off to add it later easily.
So I installed 16 in mine with the closed end cap. 96" and andrews 48h cams. Bottom end is strong, fairly quiet, but feels like it is running out of breath a bit on the the top. After reading here I am going to try 20 and see how it feels. I have done a couple auto tune sessions on the current set up and it runs smooth.

Here is the online parts finder I used. You can go in there and adjust for your bike, it's pretty cool although to be fair I'm not sure I ordered the right piece lol!

Got ya. I guess you had a different exhaust and needed the original p clamp? I thought there was a later greater version or something not included in the kit. Appreciate the link!

For anyone who may end up seeing this thread while doing their own order for similar parts, the ones I needed are actually #'s 25 and 26 in the linked diagram (I had purchased #34 which also appears to be a 2 part clamp). So if looking for the parts on a different year model remember that they are the items clamping to the bottom of the cam chest bracket (assuming it hasn't been removed).
Thanks go to maddghost for getting me in the right direction! As well as to surdyke who was able to cancel and refund my order of the wrong parts for a small restocking fee since they had already received it.

I just installed SuperMeg a few weeks ago, Running 16 discs and closed endcap on a stock 2008 96" with heavy breather. Feels pretty good and really quiet unless you're really getting on it. I'm toying with getting the open endcap, but I came off of V&H sideshots and the quiet is refreshing at this point. I also favor low end power.

I have an open end cap and 22 discs on my 96" Evo FXR. Sounds killer and lots of power. Messing with 5 discs or less really won't change much, at least not much you'll feel. Over that you could run into tuning issues but they'd be mild. Unless you go taking all of em off or something crazy.
