Put V & H Slip Ons on my '05 EG Classic and went with the V & H Fuelpak; easy install, no probs with base map

If you were to go with a TFI, it can add the additional fuel needed without the need for a dyno tune and you can do the installation yourself. The PC III is a good addition with the numerous adjustments it has but for a street ridden bike, but it's a bit more than needed IMO and when you add up the costs, this is where the decision has to be made for a street ridden bike.

Thanks Glider. After reading most of your posts on the TFI, I clicked on the link you provided in one of your post and ordered one today. I talked to Estelle and she was very helpful. Also got a good discount for being a Vietnam Vet. Did have to prove to her that I was a Vet (email my DD214 to her).

All I am looking to do is add a big sucker breather (done), true duals (maybe), and different slip-ons. Maybe V&H ovals? Not sure which one yet. I do not want the bike much louder, just better flow and reduce exhaust heat. Not much of a chance to go to bike night to listen to other bikes, as I live in the boonies.

To reduce the heat do I need to put true duals and slip-on or just slip-ons?

The true duals do take the heat away from your leg but they also loose a bit of TQ on the bottom end over the stock pipes. The slip ons will help with the flow and can help with the heat a bit too.

Thanks, I guess I should do the slip-ons first before the true duals. While I realize everyone has their own opinion, what slip-ons would you recommend for better flow with little or no louder sound?

For little or no louder sound maybe the SE one piece from the dealer.

Or these, monster ovals.

Glider, I found these on eBay

HARLEY DAVIDSON SCREAMING EAGLE PERFORMANCE PIPES ID numbers are: HD 65913-06A and HARFLT 1688/1800

Is the left pipe restricted. I was told the oem left pipe was restricted on the 07 EG.

Yes on the 07 the left OEM muffler is more of just a sound chamber and most exhaust flows out the right. If you look inside the left muffler, there's a short baffle about 6" inside the end.

As far as those HD 65913-06A. They are cat mufflers. I don't think you want those.

07 FLHX with Kuryakyn a/c,Bub Tru-Duals[for heat issues and looks]and Samson Ovals.I used the LC-1 programmable wide band O2 sensors from Nightrider.Set the closed-loop A.F.R. @ 13.2/1.This really did eliminate the heat problem.I only have 3500 miles on it in 2 years due to WORK,so I haven't really played with it much.Plugs look good.Bike runs great,no missing,stumbling or popping anytime.Also,no oil cooler or heat shields needed.I'm at a mile high elevation and cooler temps. than some also.No other mods. anticipated or I would probably go with something different.Any more mods. than this the crank would fly out of the bottom of the cases shredding the rear tire resulting in death or serious injury.Individual results may vary.
