Go under search with thread tools for exhaust, air cleaner, fuel controller or other departments in the forum and you will find a lot of previous discussions that will give you ideas.

You might get better advice if we knew what we were supposed to be offering the advice for (e.g. what bike, what year, etc.).

Are they V&H slip-ons or a full exhaust system? Without the baffles, they will probably be pretty loud. If you like that look and since you are getting a Screaming Eagle intake, call up Jamie at Fuel Moto and tell him your setup. He could sell you a preloaded fuel controller for that setup probably and they are a great company to deal with. Its easy to do as well. He is a forum sponsor and tell him you are a member here. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

I have a 2009 Heritage with V&H short shot staggerds with a SE AC. I had a dealer stage 1 download, but got a V&H Fuel Pak off e-bay for $120.

So if you're on a budget, get the exhaust and SE AC and look on e-bay for a Fuel Pak.

If you have the money to spend, go though Fuel Moto. E-mail Jamie and tell him what setup you have and what you are looking to do in the near future. Jamie will probably recommend the Micro Tuner for around $250 I believe.

+1 for what bluraven said. Since you can get the pipes and a/c for such a good deal, I'd pay a little extra to get a good tuner from Fuelmoto. I believe their micro tuner is actually $199, and that's including whatever map they load it with to match your setup. Their Fuelmoto EFI tuner is also a good deal at $239. Both are dynojet products branded for Fuelmoto. You can't go wrong with these guys.
