The fuel pack is an easy install if your just planning on doing the air intake and pipes. if you plan on engine upgrades i would go with tts or sert. only downfall to these are dyno tuning for best performance. what those guys said about power commander would prob work best.

Yea, I plan to just do pipes and air. So i figured fuelpak is more than enough. Thanks for all your comments.
Regarding brackets and all? Are they hard to remove cuase of the factory loctite? Do I just got to give them hell? Or do I need to get an impact wrench?

It is actually an easy install.
My recomendations are when you get ready to put the new pipes on be careful to remember to WIPE them down before you start the bike up or you run the risk of baking dirt from yourhand onto the chrome.
Make sure after you have run the bike for a bit and rode it for a few miles you re-tighten the exhaust head bolts. They will loosen up a bit.
Pay really close attention to the Fuel Pak programming it is easy but be sure to input the correct values.
I did V & H 2-1 Big Radius on my Fatboy with the Fuelpak and actually put the baffles back in because I was setting off my house alarm every time I fired up the bike.
Good Luck & Enjoy

Im putting a SE intake and the power commanded V on my 2011 Fat Boy LO. Still debating on what exaust to go with. Im more concerned with performance than looks but it would be nice if the exaust was flat black. Have heard that thunder headers is the way to go. Anybody got any sugestions?

check out my video where you can see and listen to them. They do sound a little deeper in person.

OK, I did the install. did go very straight forward.
question...
I used some antisieze on the O2 sensors. A little on the threads only. Seemed to smoke a little when they came up to temp. Is this normal? If so how long does this last?
observation...
The fuelpak install is easy to do. worked like a charm. fitting it under the seat is a PITA.
The sound is bang bang....
