Ok. I just sunk a ton into the paint and I have a set of BUB header pipes that I am waiting to put on. Just to put them on, add the stage 1 with air cleaner, I am looking at another $600-$700. If I went with the Dyno set up, it'll be even more.

Let me say, I love the performance and sound of my bike with the stock headers and samson slip ons. Should I do the upgrade or no? What will I see with a change in pipes? Sound? Speed? Acceleration?

If I hold off, I'll end up putting the new pipes on eBay or here and use the money at Bike Week in South Carolina. Those of you who made the change, I'd like your honest opinion.

Thanks, and happy riding!

Jon

Get the PCV from Fuelmoto so you don't have to do the dyno...save some cash that way...but definately do the stage 1 and add a tuner.
