Default New guy needs exhaust system advice

I have a 2015 Road King Special. The engine is stock but I will be putting a high air flow intake on it. I was looking at the Bassani 2 into 1 B4 complete header system. Is this a good choice or is there any reason I should go with another exhaust. Thanks in advance.

My opinion.....

On a Stage I engine mod (like you are doing) I doubt you will feel much seat-of-the-pants difference between the different exhaust types, but the general rule of thumb is: True Duals are for max, high rpm horsepower; Two into one (2-1) is for good low-end/midrange torque; Two into one into two (2-1-2) look like duals with some of the benefits of a 2-1 exhaust.

I believe on a Stage I, your choice will boil down to sound, looks, fit & finish, and cost....

I have a set of Bassani 2-1 exhaust on one of my bikes. They are well made, fit well, and sound good.... They are a quality exhaust system.

Well with the mods you want you will need either a tuner or a dyno tune. Fuel moto has excellent customer support and tunes for life on the PV. might look at their site and see what they have going.
