so I started her up yesterday since I couldnt fire it up when I installed it late Wednesday night and man..... they sound GREAT! best $80 I ever spent! it has a good growl and its not obnoxiously loud as I was expecting it to be, which is good!!! only thing is I have stock air cleaner and I get a lot of backfire/pop. what do I need to do to fix this? I have been looking at a use xied for a quick temporary fix but I want to make sure that the Xied (sku 100 ) from nightrider would fit in '14 sb,since thats whats mostly what people are selling used.
I know a tuner is needed, but funds right now are pretty tight so I was looking in to the Xied for a temporary fix, would this do the job? and I know its a beaten dead horse question but when it comes to tuners, which one would be the most cost effective, and as far as fixing up the bike im probably gonna be at stage 1 upgrades for a long time before i even think about cams / head work etc ( have a c5 project thats taking from my HD funds lol ) so a simple tuner would prob work in my situation but which one?

It makes a difference. More than you think. Combined with my HD Stage I A/C, it does as much as I need it to do. Personally.
And if you need to upgrade later (I have no idea why; to be able to keep up with a 600cc rice burner??) you aren't tearing **** off of it and throwing it away.
As to whether you need to do something because you put slip-on muffler bodies on it?
Nobody has yet convinced me how that would be necessary. Especially with a stock cam that has -4 degrees of overlap (on mine, anyway).
The O2 sensor just sits there and looks for oxygen. It doesn't know **** from applebutter about what's going on downstream of it.
If I wanted to go fast, I would have bought a cheap motorcycle and a big helmet.
My SG is plenty fast for me. PLENTY.
Pay no attention to my pic below. It looks nothing like that anymore.
I'm just too lazy and lacking in moral character to change it.
Save your bucks for things that matter. Don't fritter your money away on meaningless bull snot.
ETA:
Don't even think XIEDs or whatever they're called. You can go to Radio Shack and get the same thing for $2.
And they're worth less than that
