Default Performance Kits

Im looking for either a kit, or a collection of, exhaust, aircleaner, and fuel managment, that wont completely break the bank. I'd like to know a good combination of parts etc. that will get me the best results, or atleast a good idea of what parts to be looking at. as for exhaust, i have been looking at the rush, but if there is something better, id like to know. as for the aircleaner and fuel management, not too sure.

My parts just came in today and I'll be installing this weekend.. kinda in the same boat, I had to try to get the 3 main items for the least amount of money... at first I was going to get slipons but decided to go ahead and get the full exhaust..

I got V&H Big Radius 2-2 pipes, V&H FuelPak and was going to get the V&H VO2 intake but it was out of stock so I got the Zippers MaxFlow kit which is for all intents and purposes about the same as the V&H kit..

I like that I went straight to V&H website and you just punch in which parts you have and it tells you the map for the FuelPak.. they have ALOT of combinations of parts.. not just V&H pipes..

Anyway, for the money I think I did ok for everything.. will find out this weekend if it all pays off.

Jaime at Fuelmoto has kits like you're looking for. They are good people to deal with.

+1 talk to Jamie at Fuel Moto. The PC III or the PC V is a much better option than the Fuel Pak especially if you end up doing more in the future. The Fuelpak is no easier than the PC to install and the Fuel pak is very limited in what it does, and can not be custom tuned on a dyno since no one but V & H knows what easch mode controls. By going with Fuel Moto you get lifetime MAP support and they double the warranty of the PC.

Yep, call Jamie. Put my PCIII on in 07 and just got a new free map a few weeks ago when I changed exhaust.

If your just doing a basic Stage 1, you did fine, bang for the buck IMHO.. I have all V&H and the Fuelpac is fine for basic safe tune.. My map was perfect the first time..partially cause I used their quiet baffles which they told me would make it a little rich over the less restrictive stock baffles. I'll take rich over lean anyday..I chocked down the baffles even more cause it was still a little loud for my taste.. that extra BP should make it even richer..Runs perfect, no popping, excellent bottom and roll on torque increase. Any problems V&H has great support to tweak the FP settings..If you have bigger plans for the future, then more advanced tuners might be a better choice..

Dunkon76, I don't belive you said what MC you have..
