Default big radius ordered

Okay guys I just ordered my big radius 2 into 2 pipes and my se heavy breather air intake. I think I remember reading that I have to buy a different gasket or something? And I am thinking of getting the fuelpak. How is it? Thanks

Sounds good but if you want to get the full potential out of those pipes and breather get a fuel pak or pcv or something to get it tuned in. Youll need new exhaust gaskets for the exhaust ports on the heads and plugs for the o2 sensor bungs.

If you ever plan on doing anymore mods to the bike dont get the fuel pak. Get the power commander or something along those lines. The fuel pak as far as I know is only good for pipes and air cleaner.

I had that exact same set up on my fatboy and it worked great. As others have stated if you going to more then a stage 1 the fuel pack is not the way to go.

Some like the FP, some hate it.
All it will do is change Ur A/F ratio. it won't and can't tune Ur bike.

Read through these links to learn about different ones so U'll have a better understanding of them.

F/M systems are just like most things in life. U get what U pay for.

U just need to figure out what Ur needs are.

You never mentioned what kind of bike this is for. Someone mentioned needing to plug the O2 sensor ports in the exhaust. If the bike is a late model, you'll have O2 sensors to screw into the ports in the header pipes, just like the OEM pipes.
