getting ready to have a 5000 mile service done and possibly a stage one kit. i have bought slip-on Bombers from American Custom i like the sound but the gas mileage sucks. what comes with a stage 1 and can i use the stock headers what tuner should i get. I'm on a limited budget I just don't want to have to buy anything that i don't need.
i want the sound and the ability to pass maybe 1 or 2 gas stations before i have to fill up. thanks for all the help. sorry i'm talking a 11 street glide

I think the least costly way to go about it would be a K&N air filter element ($50) in the stock housing, your American Custom mufflers on your stock headers, and the HD Stage 1 Download ($150). You should see a measurable performance improvement without breaking the bank.
It's true that other equipment choices will provide even greater performance improvements, but they come at a significantly higher cost.

i'm curious myself as to what your gas mileage is beings all you've done is slipons, all i have is slipons and the xieds and i get high 40's on mine but mine is also a 96ci., might have a little to do with it.

Your mileage should be about 40-45 mpg unless you are really going fast and/or carry a lot of weight. My '09 has the HD Stage One DL, Stage One Air Cleaner, and V&H basic slip ons. Better power/sound and I'm getting about 40-42 mpg. There was a thread on here recently and almost everyone with this set up or close was getting the same mileage. What are you getting?
