Default RE: V&H shortshots and quiet baffles

I'm sold. I think I'm going with the shortshots with the quiet baffles.

Now how about my fuelpak and air cleaner question. Can I get by with the stock parts orwill I need to get or should I get the V&N fuelpak? Plus, a high flow air cleaner?

If so, regarding the air cleaner, what's a good brand and the possible cost.

Great board. Thanks for your imput.

I would put the pipes on (that gives you the looks and sound you want) and see how she runs. You are more likely to not need re-maping without changing the A/C. My understanding is the EFI takes care of the Harley farts/hiccups anyway.

If you are looking for more then sound,(ie. Horsepower) A A/C kit & a programmer are needed.

personally I went with a thundermax EFI W/autotune & the screamin eagle A/C kit. I'm thinking of changing to a big sucker.


Good luck
