Default CFR and tuning issues?

I've read a few posts now that got me wondering what tuning issues people are having with these mufflers? I moved from Basinni slip ons to CFRs with no issues and the auto-tune session I ran made very small changes. I'm using a PC-V, 57H cams, and S&S headers. No surges, pops, weirdness.

Edit: This post is meant to ask what tuning issues others have had. I had absolutely no issues with these mufflers.

I'd look at the quality of the install first...leak free, good seals, clamping clamps and good gaskets.

then go from there.

Many of us attempt stuff on a motorcycle ( because all the parts are right there) that wouldn;t be considered on the mini van. many owners lack basic mechanical skills, tools knowledge- and that's ok. not everyone has a mechanical aptitude. some don't have a manual.

so maybe not the product, but the application/install.

ps when i need something off the top shelf I stand on top of my list of mistakes- thicker than a 80's phone book
