Default What combo?

I am looking to build on the motor later, but now I am looking for the best pipe and intake for performance. What does anyone think?

I'm planning the same upgrades and from what I've read the H-D dealer has intake/pipe combos they can recommend. I'm going to buy each seperate as I can afford it and then put them on myself and have the EFI mapped.

You state performance.
For performance, definitely a 2:1
A lot of the guys on this board swear by the D&D Fatcat.
I like the Bassani Road Rage.
The Fatcat is a real throaty sound.
The Bassani has more of a race sound.
I can't comment on the power numbers difference. Never dyno'd a Fatcat on my scoot.

I'm not sure if either of these companies has pipes out for an '09...if there's a difference.

As for air cleaners, from what I've read on this board...majority use the Ness Big Sucker.
I like the Doherty PowerPacc w/Powervents.
