Well after 3 month's of research on here I ended up ordering a Fuel Moto Stage 1 package with the air cleaner, power vision tuner, jackpot slash-up mufflers, and a new cat less header pipe. They told me it would be 4-6 weeks for the header pipe. My thinking is they must be good if they cannot produce them fast enough. I also ordered the competition baffles for the mufflers in case I wanted them louder. I hope I made the right choice. In stock form these new cat pipes on the new bikes give off a lot of heat on a warm day. I hope this new system gets rid of some of it. Thanks to all that replied to all my exhaust threads.
Man I hope it does not take that long or I will just go with the V&H Power Duals. I went with fuel moto because they are stainless steel and I was told it is heavier gauge than the V&H. The price they quoted me at fuel moto was 1476.00 and that included the comp. baffles. It is the plain header pipe because it was going to be a longer wait for the ceramic coated one.
I was going to go with V&H power duals and CFR mufflers. The CFR's have an awsome sound. I hope I did the right thing by going with the fuel moto stage1.
I have an '09 RKC with a FuelMoto Stage 1 kit. The dyno tuned baffles were louder than stock, but I eventually switched to the competition baffles. Pretty happy with these. V&H has good stuff too.
