I bought a Power Vision 3 weeks ago. Still learning. It holds 6 tunes. It can also be mounted to the handlebars and acts like an info monitor. I have my RPM, MPH, Inlet temp, Exhaust Temp displayed all the time. You can have any info that the computer monitors displayed. You can pull over to the side of the road and swith tunes in about 2 min. It can log any info while your riding. I like it alot.

I do I am waiting on my handlebar mount to come in so I can use it without worrying about dropping it. So far all I have done is flashed my ecm with the map fuelmoto sent me. Bike runs great but I will try out the data logging once my mount comes in... there is a PowerVision thread on here somewhere its pretty technical.

Fatcat is an excellent choice, but I think the best choice is the RB Racing LSR-series pipe. It meets the OP criteria of routing low for bag clearance too. Here's one in black on a Bad Boy:

You guys kill me with all you gadgets. Power Vision...forgetabout it...An exhaust with a valve in it, really......I have the solution to all your problems. Its easy and has always been there.
Number 1, A D&D pipe. 2 into 1
Number 2, A cam of your choice for the type of riding you do, if under warranty, Screamin Eagle cam.
Number 3, Open air cleaner.
Number 4, Dyno tune and SERT tuner.
Done ! ! !
I want to ride my bike. I dont want to go down the road looking at a LCD gadget on my bars. And the exhaust with the valve....Are you kiddin me. I have put 10k miles on my Fatty with no problems at all. It does like a gallon of 110 octane in its tank from time to time. For just 96ci it out runs 110s all day long. And the exhaust note at 5500rpm is thrilling. So dont over think it. Anybody want to add anything. You pay 18k for the bike just spend 2k more and forget-about-it.....! ! !

D&D has louvered (standard) and louvered wrapped("quiet")and the big boar and big boar wrapped available for the fatcat for a softail. Big boar is recommended for 107 and bigger motors. Then there is the Boarzilla pipe which is designed for big motors as well.

I went from drag pipes (no baffles) to a Fat Cat, with quiet baffle. It surprised me how loud the quiet baffle was with my 103" engine. It is far from quiet.
The reason I opted for the quiet baffle was it has a deeper/lower sound and gives more torque in the low to mid range, where you spend most of your riding time.
