If you get a work quote from your dealer you can then take it to a competing shop and see if they will match it. That way if it expires with your dealer, you may still get the same quoted price from their competition. Trick is, you need that printed quote to get traction.
I still haven't put my 2into1 pro pipe on my Lo yet. A buddy of mine has another brand and it is a beast. Nice sound, but almost too loud. I am thinking of the quiet baffle to make it a deeper tone.
My warranty is up in 3 years, so that's when I will get the engine upgrade. Probably full stage 3 with cams, heads etc. I talked with some guys, and pretty much if you get the stage I, you second guess yourself and want the stageII, and again till you want Stage III. Some people say, "do a stage at a time on the engine" but man that money adds up over time with dyno tuning and labor costs.

Just got off phone with manager at the HD dealer and he said he would extend the 20/20 sale for me another week! Thats great for me because I was going to pass until I was able to do more research. We will see what I can get done by this coming Saturday.

Glad you have more time to research, but definitely go 2-1 pipes, as they will give you slightly more performance over the 2-2. And they look good! I have V&H ProPipe HS on my Fatboy and love the performance and looks.

You would not happen to have any sound clips of them on your bike do you? All I can find are spotty clips on you tube and because of recording device used, they all sound different.
