Thanks
The Stereo rocks at 90mph it rocks at any speed, is it worth it? yes so far it out performs every system I have seen, plus nobody really knows its there unless you tell them. Its pretty stealth once its installed. I had a local bike shop do the install, it took them quite a while, PY says 3 hours buts its longer than that it does come with instructions if your a DIY kind of guy.
I have a stock motor except for the SE intake, the pipes are not super loud they don't crack like some, its a much deeper base, very mellow at cruising speed, sounds just like a jake brake when your slowing down if you know what that is, if you don't ask a trucker. I didn't look at any other pipes, as soon as I saw that exhaust I was sold, the huge outlet looks awesome with only a single pipe. I am coming off of a goldwing and I wanted to stay single pipe for performance purposes. All in all I am extremely happy with both the stereo and the pipes. I gotta warn you the pipes sound a different than most other ones, but I like different, they are actually built for high compression motors and performance builds, I will get there eventually when the warranty is over with. I added about 10 hp over bone stock with the SE intake, V&H Pro pipe and Power commander V. let me know if you have any more questions.

It dyno'd at 75 hp and 90 ft/lb of torque, as far as heat goes the only problem I had is I burned a pair of vanson riding pants because the pipes have no heat shield, wasn't paying attention in my driveway (at least not till my leg got hot) but as far as riding the heat doesn't seem to be a problem.
