You can get a new exhaust without changing the air cleaner or upgrading the ECM. I love my vance and hines short shots, they are very loud and clean looking, but alot of people have them. Once you decide to upgrade your air cleaner is when you will need to either get a remap or upgrade the ECM.

This is a good inexpensive idea that will give the bike good tone, excellent performance for the invested dollar and there quality is awesome. They also used to make the SE brand for off road that was so popular.

go with v&h, they off the shortshots and sideshots in black.....both are sexxxy as hell on the nightster (most people run shortshots so if ya want something a less seen get the sideshots).
if ya have to go chrome get some wrap but it will fade so spray paint it on one side with black brake caliper paint, that way it will remain black instead of turning brown or dingy grey over time.
