spoke to him last night (9pm on his cell phone which I'd NEVER get half that type of customer service from my local dealer). He said the exhaust is a grey area for the warranty but regardless I will get something in writing from him so now just waiting on all the parts to arrive and then drop it all and the bike off

Well, here's the deal: the reason to go with the Harley Stage II kit is because it gives a big performance boost, for not much money, and retains the warranty.
If you put an aftermarket pipe on, you will almost certainly have your warranty voided if you need service at any dealer who is not your home dealer.
Even at your home dealer, if Harley asks for a pic of the bike and exhaust, you're screwed.
But that isn't the real issue. The real issue is that the Screaming Eagle tuner is not set up for a pipe like that, and may not be able to accommodate that pipe. You may not be able to tune the bike properly, so it may not run right and it very likely won't deliver the full measure of performance the pipe is capable of.
The only way to take full advantage of the pipe would be to use an aftermarket tuner. And using an aftermarket tuner is absolutely going to void your warranty, guaranteed, by the factory and voided at every dealership and there's nothing you or your dealer can say about it.
Which is all to say: if you're trying to maintain your warranty, the Bassani pipe is a terrible idea. And if you're determined to get the Bassani, then why bother with the Harley Stage II, why not go for something like the TTS100 since the warranty is gone anyway?
If warranty is a concern, I would say get the Harley Stage II and forget the Bassani for now. It's a good upgrade that you can really feel. Keep it that way until the warranty expires; once the warranty is up you can add the Bassani and aftermarket tuner and enjoy another increase in performance.

LOL this was the straw that broke the camel's back and got me thinking. Because of the bassani I was basically doing a dealer backed warranty. Long story short , made a list with a dealer last night that they are putting through today and it will be a dealer backed (on paper ) warranty
woods 777 cams
TTS (I already own a powervision so I have to call and ask about that,totally forgot )
SE oushrods
FUEL moto intake
bassani 2 into 1
now I'm VERY excited. Have to make sure they have the new oil pump cover in case that has to be changed.

I would argue that you get a BIGGER performance boost with aftermarket...and I found it was cheaper than going SE upgrades. And I believe the parts are better quality.
But yes...the warranty is the deciding factor, which is why I hope the OP is as informed as he can be before deciding.

it's a dealer backed warranty , therefore if something happens and corporate won't pay because of the motor work, the dealer will cover it. The only downfall is I have to get the bike to that specific dealer if I have any issues that corporate cant/won't cover.
if I ran ALL Harley motor parts , it's to my understanding id retain my factory warranty. Like stated above , it comes down to the EPA b.s. And running ALL Harley parts then makes it pointless. I was fine with it if I could run a non Harley exhaust which wasn't the case so f it. Did the parts i want and drop it off Wednesday 😁😁
