Default 12 street glide opinion

I currently have a 12 glide with factory air cleaner and factory pipes with the baffles cut out. I am thinking about goin true duals and want an opinion. I am thinking about getting the fuel moto micro don't know what true dual set up yet has anyone run this and recommend it? Should I run something else around same cost? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think you can go wrong with Fuelmoto; great customer service and free maps for life. I've been real happy with the stuff I bought from them.

When you say baffles cut out do you mean cut the pinched end out or removed the entire 5 inch baffle? Reason im asking is if your run a catless system with the entire baffle out its on the loud side and doesn't sound clean down low, seems there isn't enough back pressure! Ive tried it both ways and running it with the entire baffle out sounds great when your on it but to loud to me! i would think you would need a tuner to correct the back pressure issue. performance wise my SG performed best with the baffle opened S/E intake and flxeids, it sounds and runs so perfect everyone who has ridden it says this is the way is should have come from the factory.

For my stage 1 upgrades I did SE air cleaner, rush true dual headers and slip ons with 2.25" baffles. Went with the SE tuner. I really liked the setup, it gives a nice growl but isn't ridiculously loud until you really grab a handful of throttle. +12 tq and hp, ran me about $2500. I went with the SE tuner knowing that I was going to do more with the engine later and that a preset map wasn't going to be as customized to my bike as a guy on a dyno.
