@Quik mjwebb referred me to a thread you said "The other is the full 2-2 performance system with H collector. Im running this system on my 128 and I love it."
My choice is made, KW full system. I'm excited, I still can't believe two after market products perform so differently.
My neighbor's just have too get used to these Congo drums beating every time I fire it up!

yes sir Im very happy with my KW 2-2 system and FM even bragged about it after they built and tuned my 128. It does not come with inserts however so you will need to obtain a set if you want the best performance. They make 3 different full length inserts, performance insert with adjustable tongue, louvered insert, and ripper (steer clear of the ripper unless you just want noise, performance sucks with that one) I have dynoed with both the performance and louvered insert and they are nearly identical across the board. I ultimately chose the louvered because it is the louder of the two but it is still not gonna **** off your neighborhood. Good luck sir!

I have a 21017 FLHXS with a dealer installed stage III 107-114 with Rinehart 4.5's and the extended warranty just expired. I hav an early November appointment to have a cam swap and my tuner has recommended going with the Khrome Werks full system. Have not settled on which cam yet, but I am gonna sit down with my tuner and discuss options soon. I am excited and looking forward to the added power. Not sure what kind of power to expect. Reliability and durability are my main objectives and being the fastest bike on the road is not the most important thing but more power and torque certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings.

I am sure aftermarket cam will give you a huge boost along with the exhaust. Your going to love it. I've decided to nix my warranty later this year for the full KW exhaust and either a cam kit or full 128 kit including heads..
Honestly I was pretty dissatisfied with the performance of the SE stage 3 122 kit, but I rode a 100 highway miles yesterday and man did these KW's wake up this bike up.
Wish I could do just an aftermarket cam and full exhaust and preserve the warranty. But if I am going to lose the warranty I'm going all in.
Side note at the dealer yesterday grabbing a part. Asked about the KW head pipe and they won't sell KW because non EPA complaint!
Now I know why they pushed the Rinehart's slip-ons when I continually asked about KW. That pisses me off. Oh well now I know better.

Let me see what I can find out, I do know my full 2-2 system uses the same size muffler inlet on left and right so that may throw a wrench in your situation because M8s have 2 different sizes on the stock header.

It looks like the only Header is the Aggressor. The full system is the Dominator. It's a stepped header and has the same size outlets for the exhaust on both sides.
Looks like if you want the exhaust we have, it's full system only.

Hey Quik,
‘Did you notice a big difference going from a cam to 128 kit? Thinking about a winter project. 128 with maybe heads. I already have cam and exhaust and S&S internals heavier clutch springs on my 2019 RG CVO.
