Thanks guys--my photobucket account has been crapped out lately--I'll try to at least post some pics here:
In short, I saw an initial hp/tq increase by 10/9 respectively, but am still working with Mastertune TTS to get a big hole in the VE maps fixed around 2500-3100 rpms. Love the look and the sound, just trying to determine if performance-wise it's the best set of pipes out there. Still deciding. Also threw my dyno numbers out there with 2 different air cleaners for your comparison.

Just slapped on the Blackout. I wrapped the standard baffle with matting but would like it quieter still. Are the quiet baffles (V&H Part #21899) still on backorder or does anyone know of a place that has some available? I did a Google search and 2 places SAY they have them but actually do not.

I rode the bike today for the first time since putting the pipes on and under easy acceleration from a stop I have a stumble off idle (and got one slight back-fire) that was not there with the ShortShots. If I twist it a little more from a light it does not happen. No popping under decel what so ever. The bike's acceleration seems kind of flat now but I think that may be more of a flat torque curve than it had with the ShortShots which delivered a "peaky" acceleration.
I'm going to pop in a couple thumb screws in the standard baffle and wait for the quiet baffle to see if that helps (when it becomes available) and if it still remains I will slap on a Patriot Top Fueler.
