Putting a pro pipe, s&s stealth air cleaner, remapping with power commander. My only question is do I need to do anything else like a stage one kit. I was looking at thunderheader but the shop I go to really recommends V&H over them for build quality. Gonna run about $1,800.00 so I wanna do it right the first time. Thx
What do you mean by stage one kit? HD stage one download? If you are getting a power commander, then no you dont need it. $1800 sounds like way too much for exhaust, AC, and PC tuner. You should be able to get all three for under $1k. Labor at Indy would charge between 2-3 hours or roughly $200-$300. That leaves $500-$600 extra out there for your mechanics trips to the strip club.....lol
As far as V&H pro pipe vs thunderheader.....Pro pipe is very nice and clean and the quality of it is top notch. Thunderheader is mean and loud, but I just don't like the way it looks and the quality of it is the lessor of the two.
I had the dealer install my
propipe= about 800
SE pro tuner = about 500
Dyno =3-400
I purchased a SE velocity intake from a forum member for 150 but they are 350 new so 1800 isnt that bad if everything is new because all my pipe, tuner and tune were 1600$ without the intake.
Doing the pipe, air intake and tune is a stage one. Order the pipe and intake yourself online and install yourself (if you're handy enough to start your bike you can install these) and order a power commander already tuned from Fuel Moto. Plug and play.

Save yourself a shitload of money and be happy
This is what I'm doing and it'll be less than $800 bucks (but I like the V&H short shots, add about $300 for the pro pipe).

V&H propipe from fuel moto is under $600 and if you add their fuel moto billet intake and power commander V you will still be under $1K. Call them and they will give you a good package deal. He didn't mention the Dyno, but that will bring the price up as will stealer labor.
