XiED tuners

Loads of folks here do or have used them.
They do the job they are supposed to: reduce engine temp and improve lower speed rideability. Not really a performance mod though.
I'd suggest the Xieds rather than the variable ones. You really only want the one setting of the Xieds and the adjustment on the Vieds is pretty much all or nothing anyway.

Or for a few dollars more u could get a fuelmoto micro tuner. They will pre load a map based on ur configuration, and even walk you through adjustments with their software program if you need to. Great company, great product.
I just installed the VL-Xied(dont know the difference between the non VL but thats what was suggested). All I did otherwise was a DK intake and V&H 2-1 exhaust. Thats all I am planning on doing for performance mods so getting a full tune wasnt important to me. The o2 sensor tricks are enough. I did this on my Diavel as well and that thing runs much better in the lower RPMs.
I do still get significant decel pop and shift pop. That being said, I love that sound.

X2 I have them on my dyna and noticed a difference all around. I had a fi sporty with the dealer download and it spit/sputtered bad. Installed the xieds and it was an immediate night and day difference. Highly recommend them.

They are good if you don't mind some decel.
My bike ran stronger and you could feel the difference.
The tuner did away with the decel, sold the Xied to a forum member for half price.
All in all worth it.

If you are truly that concerned about your bike, buy a real tuner. XiED's are NOT tuners. If you want to make the best investment get an autotuner for your first time around and not waste money on this and that only to realize it really does not do what you want or give you the performance you really want.
I wasted money on a FuelPak and a Power Commander before I bought the ThunderMax, only good thing I can say is it really made me appreciate how much of a difference the TMax Autotuner makes.
