Default would you do stage one again?

I have an 08 Ultra, runs well and the PCV helped a "little" with the heat. I am considering jackpot mufflers and air cleaner for stage one. I do not have a problem with the stock sound as I like being able to hear the stereo. If you had it to do again... .would you?

Most definitely, but then again I probably wouldn't stop at stage 1 again either!

yep would do it again, it needed the low-end power, 08 FLHX, Stage I, SE Intake, Rush 2.0 Slip-ons, PC-V Fuel Motto w/2-maps from Jamie

runs cooler, performance is better, bike sounds better to me,

lost alittle fuel mileage but worth it
