Default Best performance exhaust?
I just purchased a 2003 Road King, fuel injected, with the stage 2 screaming eagle kit in it. I was wondering what the best performance exhaust is? Thanks

What about knocking out the baffels in the stock mufflers to gain sound until I can afford a new system? Will I lose power and also do I have to have it remapped since it is fuel injected? thanks

Before they beat you up too bad, you should search the site, this post is repeated often. Any change you make is bound to affect something else, make a good, solid plan and go with that. Patience is sometimes the key to the best results.

It depend on what you want to spend, or listen to? All the experts leave no doubt that a 2 into 1 is the true horsepower maker! And correct you will need remapping for sure....just do some research on brands....such as Thunderheader, Vance & Hines etc....Good Luck
