I have a 2018 Road King....Stock mufflers!!! But.... I took out the "cat" and it has a 22X cam in it. Canned map from Fuel Moto, went from 81Hp/103Tq (stock with canned map) to 101Hp/111Tq again with canned map for that application. I get comments all the time, asking if the mufflers are stock??? I have a nice rumble, and can drive through my neighborhood.... If I wind it up it will bark enough for me. I have no intention to get a "full tune" mine runs great and I still get 42mpg. Good luck with your ride. CSM-H
What kind of torque curve does your bike make?
This is basically what I want. An increase in TQ across the rpm range ie better avg tq and keeping the fuel mileage would be excellent!

My M 8 is a Heritage 114 Softail. All I did was to install the HD torque cam and the HD SE reflash. Exhaust and Air Cleaner is stock. Sounds great and runs perfect.
IMHO, overly loud Motorcycles are only an excuse to hide your manhood short comings.

I've got the stage 2 tq cam, AC and still run the stock exhaust on my 17 RK for 22000 miles (installed at 1K service). Bike runs fine. Nice and quiet. IMO the stock cam is too neutered on the top end so adding it was an improvement. While the warranty is up and I could easily build the motor up, I'm actually plenty happy with the current power level.
AliensilverFXDBI, my Dyno sheet is on the M8 Dyno thread...I love it, early and long!!! Good Luck, CSM-H

Reason: added information
I have a FM air cleaner, decatted head pipe, Andrews 460 cam, and the stock mufflers are opened up a bit. The crimped baffle tubes, I opened up up with a 1” rod. There’s still good back pressure, and I like the quietness. I love the look and sound of the stock mufflers. I can chirp 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears, and lift the front tire on second gear shifts. I have not dynoed it, but I’m happy with the butt dyno.
