W118 is best for the Short Shots. There are some dyno charts at that link.

baka1969, you look ready to roll on a trip!

Hey Kev, I did 2500 miles through Chicago and Canada. It was a hoot. The bike made it through like a champ mechanically. The TTI did it's job.

One of the best parts was going to Wrigley and Rogers Stadium in a one week span.

We sell more W118's for Sportsters with Short Shots and baffles (regular or quiet) than any other configuration. They (the short shots) respond really well to them. Nice bump in power.

A search on the forum will turn up lots of reviews.

Very cool. Sportys are pretty much bulletproof, as you well know.

Look at post #8 in this thread.

Yes, lots have used. TTI's many times reduce or eliminate decel pop.

Was the install straightforward? Did you had to drill anything (heatshield the pipe itself etc)? So you get some decent performance increase on lower end with Straight Shots slip ons?
