luc.who,
Just picked up a super low mileage DX Pipe and after talking to my tuner today he suggested a set of 4" Rineharts for my 15 CVO SG. Did you have your bike dyno tuned? Just curious about the HP/TQ with that set up.

Thanks, E

I keep the stock exhaust on the CVO's and all the other bikes that I get. Save yourself from $500 to $800. Just drill out the baffles.

I have not had it dynoed. I am running a map from Fullsac. I am planning to use the FR function of the TTS this weekend.

Put a Bassani 2 into 1 Road Rage header on and tuner a few months after buying it. Little bit quicker and a whole new, beautiful sound.

I had mine run on the Dyno with the Fullsac map. I was getting 92/104. The tuner tweaked it to 96/109. However, the bike idle was about 500 rpm lower after the tune which caused a lot of vibration at idle and my gas mileage dropped to around 36 mpg. Also, for the first time ever the bike went into parade mode when I was riding in heavy traffic and it was only 85 degrees. I just went back to the Fullsac map yesterday. I decided the slight performance improvement wasn't worth the changes in riding characteristics.

Ran it for a year with just V&H twin slash oval mufflers, then last month replaced the headers with V&H true duals, had the bike mapped, love the sound and goes well. Never liked the look of the standard headers
