I think a stock motor with stage 1 upgrades the SE Cannons are a good choice. With some engine work and displacement increase the Rineharts will probably be better.

"HDMC claims you get a 10 percent increase in HP and torque with this complete stage 1"

Guy in the vid said, "Up to 10%". Could be 1%, could be 2 1/2%.

I put my bike in storage at the dealership for winter. Got to finish changing the car port into a garage this year so i can have it at home to stare at While it is in there i got them to do a complete SE stage 1 on it. Cant wait to get it back now that i see you guys comments that it sounds pretty decent. Was a bit worried if i had made the right choice. This thread has made me a bit more confident now. It would be great if you get a chance to post a video

It is super restrictive so I decided to purchase the full SE exhaust system which moves cat converters into the slip ons where they belong. I also purchased the high flow intake and the SE pro tuner so I can tune- remap ECM on my own (anything to stay out of the stealership).

The SE slip-ons you buy for stock front pipes do not have cat converters in them and won't fit on the full exhaust system so you can't mix them up-bypass the cat converter entirely when using SE hardware. They sound really good, unlike the SE slip ons that go on stock pipes which are a bit tame and I read a lot of complaints about.

The SE tuner and associated cables you need to hook up to the ECM connector and software you download on your laptop makes it a really easy DIY to tune yourself.
I installed complete exhaust system and tuned it in less than 6 hours, which for a first time is not too bad IMO.

HDMC claims you get a 10 percent increase in HP and torque with this complete stage 1, vs what I call a partial stage 1 if you just get slip ons over crappy front pipes

most everyone always says "These bikes run lean from the factory. " Don't sound like they do. Sounds like they run lean after people start goofing around without tuning.
good video.

sometimes you can put it on youtube and post a link. That way you can make it as long as you like.

Ok...I finally got around to posting on YouTube...hopefully this reflects the sound of the latest version Street Cannons on my M8 Ultra Limited.

Just completed an all Harley part Stage 1. Bike is definitely more responsive but won’t know about an actual torque gain until I get it out on the road. Think I read somewhere it takes a couple of tanks of gas for ECM to adjust.

Wow sounds great! Is that with the SE AC and Harley Street Tuner? My new Street Cannons don’t sound like that.
