Fatboy sound like a motorboat with no power

Hi all,

I have a 2009 fatboy, its done about 300km todate.

Upon purchase I changed the exhaust to V&H BSS, SE Airfilter and Super Tuner.

Initially the bike ran well, but after about 200km, i have a couple of issues :

1. The exhaust sound like a motorboat or tractor
2. Especially at low revs , it feels like the engine is really dragging and the exhaust get more motorboat like.
3. after the bike heats up, in very slow traffic, i hear either the front or back brake disk squealing as though the brake pads are touching, also feel the bike slowing down with out braking
4. Sometimes when i rev the engine, i get a blue flame spurting from the exhaust

Any ideas as to what is wrong with my bike and what should i do ?

No idea what map they installed on.

Will send it back to the dealer on wednesday.

Agree on the brake theory, will ask the dealer to check again
