Default Best current fuel management system

I’m currently riding a 2013 street bob with a SE air intake and Vance and Hines 2 into 2 big radius pipes. The bike came from the factory like this with the crappy Harley stage one tune.

Im planning on swapping out the exhaust for a 2 into 1 pipe. Just haven’t decided which one yet. I am assuming I will definitely need a better tune after that. I’m not trying to spend an arm and a leg on a dyno session since I’m not planning on doing any additional performance mods. I just want a reliable, better performing tune than what I have.

What fuel management systems are you all running and how user friendly are they? I used the search menu but most of the posts are a few years old and I am sure they have come out with new systems since then.

Thanks for the help in advance

I installed the Thunder Max. It's been great so far. It has wide band O2 sensors and an autotune feature that continually monitors output and adjusts tables to match riding style. It eliminates the need to Dyno tune every time you change the system and allows for adjustments in the speedometer if you change the drive ratio. Easy is interface and computer interface. Rplaces the ecm so no piggyback system.

That’s really neat. I have to look into it. What kind of exhaust are you running?

All I ever hear about is Power Vision and Fuel Pak. The Thunder Max looks really interesting. I didn't realize they did EFI systems. I've had a Thunder Heart on my list for a few years now.

I like standalone systems. If I had EFI, I would have gone straight to Microsquirt but now I think T Max wins out.

If you dont plan to go beyond a stage 1, FP3 does the job really well. Very happy with mine. Way better than the factory tune I got from the stealership. Very affordable and easy to use.

Been very please with my TMax for 8 years. The auto tune module makes it easy for the system to dial in the tune as you ride. My only regret was having spent money on XIED's and a Fuelpak before I realized these were not very effective. Plus the difference in performance was huge.

I also like the idea of the T-Max...I'm keeping an eye out for a "Cheap" used (or Cheap New ) to just "Play" with

I don’t plan on going beyond stage one. But then again, most of the mods I’ve done weren’t planned. So you never know! Are there multiple maps for 2 into 2 or 2 into 1 exhausts? I’m not super familiar with how they work
