Default 1 more CAT removal question

For my 2011 street glide, my local HD dealer quoted me around $800ish to remove stock headpipe and replace with a V & H header...also a new tuner(cant remember which one). Im going to keep my Python slipons and see how I like sound. Does this price sound about right?

Considering the V&H Power duals are $500 and a tuner is at least $300 it appears you are getting the labor for free. Call him back before he changes his mind.

I cut my head pipe at the collector in half with a hack saw, drilled out the cat and had it rewelded back together for a whole $20 bucks. Runs great and sounds good with Jackpot slip on mufflers, about $250, Just a plug in and punch in the codes Vance and Hines Fuelpac, about $275 (No dealer or tuner needed). I'm also running a HD SE Ventilator A/C ($203). So for less than $750 you can too can get a new Harley to run and sound good.

Sounds about right. $400 for the pipe. $300 for a tuner and the rest labor. I'd ask if there's a dyno tune included, if so that's a good deal.
