I was going to wait and do a full exhaust upgrade, but got a deal on a used Nightstick that I couldn't pass. I installed it on my 2010 Road Glide Custom with stock A/C and no other modifications, and it seems to run real nice. May be my imagination, but very smooth acceleration, sounds decent when I get on it. I planned on eventually putting one of the HD ventillator A/Cs on the bike (the same one they put on the CVO touring bikes). For now, I think I'll stay with the Nightstick and postpone the full pipe upgrade. If I upgrade the A/C, I'll probably just go with one of the downloads for now. Anybody else go that route? What kind of luck have you had with it?

I had the SE Stage I and a Nightstick on my '10 with a download. It was fine I guess, but too quiet for my taste coming from a Thunderheader before. I eventually replaced it with a Thunderheader... The bike ran great, but I wanted more. TW6-6 cams, a T-header, TTS and Heavy Breather did the trick for me. So far...
To make the Nightstick sound wicked, you can get an open end-cap from Supertrapp. Sounds pretty bitchen, even with the kitty still in place...
