Or get X14IED for 100 bucks, which will enrich your AFR to 14:1, which is a richer mixture than what the dealer can download per EPA regs. Richer mixture also means cooler engine, resulting in better performance and longer engine life. It's not a replacement for a tune or a map if you're concerned with getting every HP and ft lb out of your bike, but for the money it can't be beat and it actually does make a noticeable difference.

Because the stock intake is so restrictive you don't have to worry about exhaust-only changes leaning out the mixture too much.

Xied's and an M.Reed intake, or modified stock breather, will give a nice boost for a very modest investment.

There are lots of big buck alternatives. Spend a few days searching here if you want to learn more.

What u talkin' bout Willis!

I like the led sled pipes if u want short pipes. Check out their website they r reasonably priced custom pipes.

you DO NOT need a tune with just pipes now if you change the intake also than yes

thanks guys,

I will be checking out both of those companies.


I prefer to support the local smaller builder shop, Here is my company.
http://thegmr.com/


If anyone is into hot rods let me know,

Are there any other smaller builders that make some badass stuff for these 48's that I should be looking into?

My next items on the list are bars and something for my bitch to ride with me!
Jason
