I'm eagerly awaiting the final tune as well, we're going to get 500 miles on it first, so weather and work schedule permitting, hopefully we will have it broken in within a few weeks.
For anyone contemplating this pipe, from what I have seen so far I would recommend it, like it was stated, sound is subjective. I like what I hear so far, at least at idle. It has a nich deep "throaty" sound to it. I don't have a good break in MAP in it yet, so it's only been run through a couple heat cycles so far. The ceramic coating on the inside and outside is top notch and the fitment and finish is **** as well! If the pipe lives up to it's reputation, i'll have a FatCat off my bike for sale in the classified is the very near future.

Are you saying heat cycles for the pipes or for you motor? And a break in map? For the pipes? Sorry I dont know these things.... I just finished installing a set of Dragulas on my 07 RG, love the sound. I have only taken it around the block and to the gas station so far, but still love the way it sounds.....
There is alot of arguement about breaking in a fresh engine, but this is our method and it works fine for us.
If you just added the pipes to your bike and nothing else, it's really hard to say how far out of tune it is, what pipes did you have on it before? Do you have a air filter other than stock on it? Ar eyou running any type of fuel management?

Doing a 95" build on my 04 RK custom as we speak. just waiting on my jugs to get bored should be done today or tomarrow. I also ordered the Drago's 2-1 pipe off of Frank. Can't wait to hear this thing. The pipe looks awsome. Drago's is awsome to deal with, Frank will answer any question you have. Can't say enough good things about Drago's customer service. Cams ,comp, head work and a great pipe. This thing has got to sound and run good.

He went from a 88: with slip ons and an a/c to a 98" with cams, head work, and 1 2 into 1. Since this is a fresh top end on the motor we want to get it broke in so the rings seat and it doesn't burn oil down the road. Heat cycles should be run on a fresh motor to seat the rings. When I refer to a break in MAP, basically I am going to put a MAP in the bike, do a quick tune on it 4000 RPM's and under. I want to make sure it's running good and rich. Then he can get out there and put on 500 miles or so to break it in, then i'll out it back on the dyno for a full tune.

I was just unclear about if you were saying heat cycles for the pipes, didn't realize new motor. I took off a set of stock pipes (duels by way of fulsac) and rush slip ons. I have a SE A/C that came with the 103 kit and am now running with a flow job on the heads and redshift 577 gear driven cams using a Revolution Performance EMS.
