Help me in my decision. 2020 Roadglide. 261 miles. I have a V&H pro pipe in the garage. SE air cleaner and the Harley tuner. Do I run more miles to make sure she’s ok or just put it on? Is the pro pipe voiding out the warranty? Thoughts and opinions wanted. Thanks
If the pro pipe removes the cats, then yes warranty is voided. There's really not much gained in just a stage 1 unless you are decatting. Then you get some sound and heat reduction.

just ride it and enjoy getting to know it for awhile, I wouldn't be in a huge hurry to alter anything as these runs so good from the factory..after a few thousand miles of thinking about what you want might want differently out of it, then plan your upgrades and do em' up right and what makes sense....imo anyway since you asked
I really want to but it wouldn’t be Harley cam or tuner. Just waiting a bit before I do anything to much. I have a the start of it just money always plays a role on how fast all the wants get done.

My thoughts and opinion is to return all the Harley stuff you're not going to use on a Stage II since money always plays a role, then install just the V&H exhaust you have and enjoy the ride till you can do a real Stage II.
My local dealer service guy told me, if you have a aftermarket tuner on the bike just let us know. He said something about when Harely (corporate) knows you have an aftermarket tuner its automatically flagged. I like to spend a little cheddar in the service department just so they know me, that way I have a relationship, if warranty is every needed.
I skipped all the stress about warranty and went right to the parts I wanted the first time I see so many people constantly stress about the warrant then they buy a whole bunch of harley parts just to maintain it then when the warranty is up go buy all the stuff they really wanted so they end up double buying parts which is dumb IMO alot of the problems from these bikes end up being from the moco stage kits I'm yet to see anyone have a problem with their bikes when running great products like fueling in their bike, my 17SG has 12,200 miles on it and not a single problem on it and I ride vary aggressively my bike is constantly in higher rpms loving the m8 motor 😎

Agreed. There isn't a Harley engine part that I would buy over aftermarket. My warranty was void at 3 miles.
It has taken me a lot of time, money, and frustration to figure out that I love HD branded accessory parts for the chassis, controls, and body of the bike but short of the SE air cleaner, I vastly prefer the aftermarket for engine parts.
This formula makes me happy. I only wish I had figured it out earlier.
