Wow. I love HD bikes. But corporate HD with business practices like this have just insured this will be the last new HD I purchase.
Unfortunately there are a lot of us that feel that way now. No longer is it the blank paper that they allowed/ encouraged you to make your own. Now it gone to our way or the highway, but maybe in time it will settles somewhere in the middle of the two places, just not today.
I didn’t pick up as much TQ as I remembered but I did pick up 5hp and 4lbstq. The before was HD stage 2TQ cam, SE Street Cannon slip-ons and HD SEPST with the stage 2 download, it was the 107 motor, not the current 114 they put in the specials. The after was with the auto tuner and S&S exhaust. As I mentioned before the bike was not tuned on a dyno just has them do a couple of pulls to see what the increase was. It might just be my thinking but the more I road the bike after the installation of the auto tuner the better it road. I put about 3,300 miles on it in 3 months including a trip to Milwaukee for the HD 115 party. I know the guy that has it now and he absolutely loves it.

Thank you. I have heard other people express the same - that it seemed the more they rode a bike with auto tune the better it seemed to run.
Speaking of warranty, if I buy the Screaming Eagle Parts and install them myself, does that void the warranty?

YES, in the fine print they say when installed by authorized HD dealer as I recall.
I know this is an old thread but I have read everything I could about this exhaust system and thought I would pass this on.
Installed the S&S Eldorado exhaust system this week. Headers were easier to install than most. I like the heavy-duty exhaust clamps. I replaced the heat shield hose clamps with slightly longer clamps. I like the deeper yet mellow sound. I going to say it feels better with HD stage 2 setup than stock. I like the look and the fact that the hot catalytic converters are moved further back. I'm installing the HD Autotune in a couple of weeks. I'll give it 4.75 stars out of 5. Because the install instructions and photos could be improved greatly.
