If your using the SE tuner I would think your limited to tuning as there are no adjustments to different exhausts other than the SE Street Cannons. The stage 1 download is programmed for the breather and the SE mufflers. Maybe there are others with similar back pressure but how do you measure that? I Just put the SE street cannons on mine because its all the noise I wanted and it was my first new bike with a warranty and I wanted to keep it warranty eligible.
S&S El Dorado full exhaust with high flow cats in the mufflers. With this set up you can also run the HD auto tuner. Have the dealer do the stage 1 download in your HD SEPST and then hook up the auto tuner. This is also a good set up if you decide to go with the HD Stage 2 cam later. I ran this set up on 2 bikes and really liked the sound and performance results, while maintaining my factory warranty. For me the sound was much better than the SE full exhaust.
I keep waiting for someone to try out the new V&H 450 Torquers, which they state were designed specifically for the M8. they have a video explaining the R&D along with sound clips and appears to be a good option worth considering

Trainekilla, Try some easy, first. Put a couple of hundred miles on the bike, the mufflers tend to open up a bit, you might like it. If not next take a flashlight and look inside the ends of your mufflers, you should be able to see what looks like a "crimped" X or cross. Take your mufflers off and with a long heavy screw driver or straight pry bar, Hit the "X" out, open it up. It will take you long to take the muffler off than to do this. Put them back on an try it out, you might be surprised by the sound. It is still going to be mellow, low rumble, BUT if you decide to cam it, sounds pretty sweet!! Just one guys opinion, but it worked for me. CSM-H

any noticeable low end torque loss? thinking that might reduce back pressure and stock the 114 makes good peak torque down low
