I have a '02 FLSTC which is EFI. The bike has a Stage II Big Bore kit with the SE-203 cams. The OEM exhaust configuration had a small hidden crossover pipe. When the bike was taken in for the Big Bore upgrage the service manager suggested going with SE II slip-ons to retain the crossover pipe for optimum performance.
The dealer intalled the new SE II slip-ons stock number 80339-00A. After inspecting the exhaust installation I realized there is NO ctossover pipe on this assembly and yes the head pipes were changed also. I ponted this out to the service manager and he couldn't beleive it until he looked for himself, (even the dealership owner swore there was a crossover pipe). I realize that this was an honest oversight on the service manager's part.
With no crossover pipe to be concerned with I'm looking for other exhaust options. I want a better sounding pipe with more throaty rumble with the best blend of sound and performance. I'm not interested in drag pipes or running without the baffles all the time.
I 've talked with a lot of people in an attempt to decide on the best exhaust set-up. Most people suggest the V & H staggered duals. Any thoughts. I love the sound and look of the thunderheaders, but I've been told that on EFI bike when you roll off the throttle the pipe spits, crackles, and backfires.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Jerry
