Default New FLD

Bought a new FLD switchback with 5 miles on it. Now have 400 and wonder how many miles I should have on it prior to doing my intake, exhaust and tuner? Thanks.

You can do them anywhere between zero miles and a million miles-your choice. But never do them outside of this range!

Do the mods as you can afford it, mileage doesn't matter. Every time I've done performance mods I wish I would have done them sooner
