I am putting a stage I on my '03 standard. Any advise on pipes. Should I stick with the screamin eagle II slip-fits, or go after market?

My buddies and I went with the STAGE I kits and
drilled the baffles out of the stock slip ons.

Sound great, with a total gain of 8hp.

Unless you want to change the look of your bike this is the way to go for the money. IMHO

I was thinking about the SE or Krome Werks, I want the pipes louder without overdoing it. I was told the Krome Werks are easier to put on than SE. Also told I would want to drill the carb

I've got a 2003 FXSTI with stage 1 including SEII Slip Ons and like them a lot. They have the Harley sound that I wanted but are not too loud. I also like the shorty dual slash down look.

I went with the SE baloney cut slip ons,SE air filter kit and dyno-jet on my 03 FXST. the sound is perfect,not too loud,not too quiet,and I love the look and sound of the slash-cut mufflers.

tmanns,

You and your friends have injected or carbed bikes? If injected did you use the standard stage 1 remap or did you have to do something different after drilling the baffles?

 

[tmanns]

We have injected bikes, and we did have to use the Stage1 remap because we also went with the SE breather kit. To me the exhaust sounds good considering it's a cheap mod.(12 bucks for the hole saw to drill out baffles)

2-1 if you want more power. I put on the SEII slip ons and am going to switch to a 2-1 for more power. You lose 5-10% power with drag pipes.

I have an 02 Standard and I'm running a Ness Stage1 Big Sucker and Python3 Slip-ons. The Pythons have a deep rumble simular to V&H, I've been told that V&H are louder but I've never heard V&H, but the Pythons are loud enough for me. I'm very happy with the setup and saved some $$ compared to the S.E. stuff. Bought it all on Ebay for $320.00, brand new sealed in factory boxes.

I have a carbeurated 03 Standard with SEII slash downs and the SE stage 1 kit. Looks great, sounds better and the neighbors don't mind at all. In fact, everyone came outside for the first two weeks when I started it up...
