If you plan on doing a stage 1 you can't use 3" baffles, not enough back pressure. Rush recommends 2 1/2 or 2 1/4 baffles for stage one. I have a set of 3" if anyone wants them (pay the shipping), just a good karma deal .............. I went with 2 1/4 with my stage 1. BTW, they are 2 screw mount for BL.

Once again ( stated for effect ) you cannot beat the Rush Team when it comes to customer service. I called about material for repacking mine last year and before I could finish asking how to go about getting the material they volunteered to send it to me free.
I am happy with Rush too....
Great day on the Bay!

I still have the stock head pipes but plan on replacing they later. Does this mean you need different mufflers then?

I have decided to just leave the Cat in and do not do the stage one - just too many 'possible' issues with warranty down the road - kept my last Harley for 11 years - with this one and ALL the electronics on it... removing the Cat and that stage one just opens up a possible can or worms... am NOT trying to start a Wild Fire here on yes or no on the warranty, just stating MY thoughts....
