Pipes sound awesome (or so all my friends riding behind me say - LOL) - installed V&H quiet baffles - not quieter just deeper. Thinking of switching 'em out some day for even louder (?) baffles. Need to get my bobstah dynoed as still getting a few pops and backfires on decel. Harley re-map can only get you so far, I need to get it dialed in spot on.
Put SERT, Stage 1 intake and pipes on when new, so have no mileage comparison, but more air in to mix with more fuel and freer exhaust should lower mileage a bit - haven't really checked mileage accurately, but figure I gotta be getting 45-50 mpg as a questimate.
Tip: V&H just announced new blacked out short shots for the '06-'08 Dyna (just the heat shields I believe) if ya like the black out look. Check out their web site for pics.
