Can't go wrong with BSLs. Which A/C you putting on? Don't know much about the TTS. Is your mechanic able to tune it? Use a Dyno? Just curious.

Good choice on the TTS. As long as your guy can tune it you should be very happy with the results.

I am doing the same thing. The tts needs a dyno to get a good tune so I went with the dj5 with auto tune. I am not done with the engine mods and don't want to go to the dyno every time I change something. I am using fuel moto's air cleaner as the use a billit backing plate were Aaren Ness uses a stamped steel one. The quite baffles change the tone a little and make it less annoying to the rider. It still is very loud. Have fun!

Get the quiet baffles now. They bring the tone down a little and make the sound a little deeper. You'll end up wanting them anyway. Save the $10 and do it yourself. On that note, you can do the pipes install yourself. Only takes about an hour. Just need a small jack to get the bike off the ground. You can put the QBs in too.

I hope it stops snowing soon, like predicted by the weather rat,so you can ride. Like said the quite baffles give them a meaner tone. Sounds like you are getting the autotune module with the TTS. this is a good move.

I had to put on the quiet baffles, but they aren't quiet, but they do take off the edge, without they are bloody noisy, had loads of crap from my neighbours before I put them in
