Select what cam you want first, then actually purchase the Mufflers that will work with the cam you selected first. then purchase the cam later when you can afford it.

Go for the cam.. That's what I did. Stage 2 SE tq with stock mufflers. It fixes the midrange and upper end while also increasing the low end. 47000 miles on the bike now.. With the CAT installed the mufflers don't make much difference.
