Put the Jackpots, stage one, and Powercommander on the SG last weekend, and love the results. Bike runs smoother at low revs, has good power gains top end, and sounds great.
The pipes are a good fit for me, stay below 3000rpm and use light throttle, and they are quite mellow. Good for getting out of the neighborhood in the morning. Slightly louder than stock at cruise, no problem hearing the stereo. (Gotta have my Elvis)
Get on it, though, and it opens up, and sounds glorious.
Haven't ridden much since, too damned cold. I'm curious to see if my gas mpg drops significantly.
I am waiting for Jamie to get the PCV ready for the 08s also trying to decide on his reqular baffels like you got or the louder 57mm. I do like them loud....

PCIII, seems to work fine. I like loud, but the old lady doesn't, and I also want to escape the neighborhood in the morning without pizzing of too many...

I think the FM Power Package is the best bang-for-the-buck Stage 1 upgrade available and recommend it highly. As for mileage, it will probably decrease somewhat if you were moving from a stock setup, but you can easily alter the cruise range (1000-3000 RPM @ 0-20% TP) by inserting smaller numbers in the map tables. I can help with '07 changes, but I'm not familiar with the '08 map, so your best bet is to request Jamie's "mileage map" and install it. For me it doesn't go far enough, but Jamie is programming for the majority of bikes and the conditions most will face. If you have an oil cooler and run synthetic oil, for example, you can go to stoich (14.7:1) or near it in the cruise range without ill effects.
It's also ready for '07 FLH with Jackpots, but only through Fuel Moto. DJ won't warrant or support '07 or '08, but Jamie will. I just installed PCV with Auto-Tune and did a write-up earlier today. It's very impressive.
