Default AC, Tuner, Headers with stock pipes?

Ok, convinced now to do either FM or Fullsac stage one package. But, I don't like loud pipes for the kind of riding I do. What do you all think of using the stock Tri mufflers with these packages? Thanks.

Default pipes

I would call Fuel Moto and ask them, they are the experts on tuning. Also there are pipes out there that are not "BAD" loud I have Kerkers on mine and they are very mellow, a little louder than the stockers when you get on it but crusing they have a very low tone.

Ditto and ask them about their Jackpot Dyno tuned mufflers with a quiet baffle like in my sig. That's what I'm running and they are not loud at all and great on trips.

Steve at Fullsac will recore your stock mufflers with performance baffles that are not loud compared to most others.

If you want it done right, go Fullsac.

You can use your stock mufflers with the Fullsac TG Stage 1. Many do and like the sound just fine. Joe is correct, they can and will recore your mufflers if you want something louder.

I'm good with the fullsac stage 1 and stock mufflers....somewhat louder than stock after the stage 1 but not abnoxious...nice mellow sound at idle and just right when you kick it up a notch to get to speed. You can always get louder slipons if its not right for your taste...or ears.

Just got my 12 TG back yesterday. Had the Fullsac X pipe, TTS tuner, Arlen Ness Big Sucker AC and 2.0 Baffles installed (Their TG Stage 1 Kit). Took it for a short ride ~ LOVE IT!! Thanks Mr. Wizard Got more pep in the step and a little more rumble! Sunday will be the test on the heat, etc. Will have to be super careful cuz she wants to get out and run, thankful for cruise control or I'd be in trouble!!

Oh, forgot to add I left my stock mufflers on, nice sound. Fullsac has different baffles for less sound.

Went for a nice ride today with my new Fullsac Stage 1 Kit. Went from Mesa (Phoenix, AZ) up to Superior. Throttle was very responsive and didn't have to down shift at all going uphill. Love the sound and noticed a nice reduction in heat with temperatures reaching 101 today. Best of all were the guys reaction that I ride with !!!
