Took off my W158 TTIs just to hear how much louder the pipes are without them. No complaints about TTIs ..just don't remember.
Update: Took the bike to work, came home and reinstalled the TTIs. Not much louder without it, but the pipes had a hollow sound. TTIs gave the pipes a deeper tone and smoothed out the gaps up the powerband.

Did you go with Standard or Heavy Duty springs?
What setting are you using ?

Light springs (I'm tall but only weigh 175lbs). Lightest preload. I'm happy with the setup for now.

As smooth as silk, no loss in traction, no problem at all...

Thanks. . . I'm leaning towards 12 or 12.5 with maybe HD springs on lowest setting unless I need more.
