Default New to the life...

Hello! After years(15+) of riding sportbikes, I made the move over to a Harley. It is a move that I will never regret. I purchased a 2014 Streetbob and it has been nothing but fun. With that being said, I am now looking into making it "mine". I have already added 12" MX-T bars, but looking to add more. Since I am new to thise side of the tracks, what advice do you current experts have in regards to choosing an exhaust/intake system?
Here is a few photos of my new ride.

Sweet a vivid black SB nice bike to work with! Air boxes almost all so the same thing and there are a thousand to look at, can't help you with that. Exhausts well another thousand but the top ar thunderheader, D&D fatcat, Samson, Supertrapp, I suggest you go to youtube and have a listen to the one you prefer.

I can tell you that most pipes will hava a raspy decel but the thunderheader does not, I just can't have one (and I really wish I could) but I live in Quebec and it would be an instant noise violation magnet!

Boom! He just said it. First cash should be towards a quality tuner you can use to adjust the bikes ecu to each modification you make along the way. Forum says tts or Powervision. I bought the PV. Like he said pick the air cleaner you like best and get a 2 into 1 pipe if you are serious about making more power. Get some Vance and Hines short shots if you are serious about making noise.

Once you are done all that, come back to the forum to decide what sort of engine work you'll do in what stages, cams, big bore, heads, etc...

Welcome to the poor life.
