Default BTG Impression after driving
It is a vast improvment over the stock. I reall did hear my bov go off today for the first time. It does have a very nice sound not real loud at all, but it lets you know it is there.

One thing I forgot yesterday on my post was how heavy and BIG the stock muffler is. I wish I would have had a scale to weigh the BTG muffler, and the stock one. That is truly a night and day thing.

Well waiting on my Stage 1 and Mopar BOV. I shoud be done by then, cept for the strut tower brace when SOMEONE finally gets one to market. Then as things wear out, like shocks, brakes and such, upgrade when needed. For sure will go with cross drilled rotors, will look hard on shock choices. Any major brand is way better than stock on ANY ride these days(IMHO), sportster included. I just dont want to loose the ride.

I had my Toyota lowered, 1.5" in front 2.5"rear, 17" rims low profile tires Pirelli Sport 7000's, as I plussed sized correctly from 15" factory wheels and lost a LOT of sidewall, DoshTeck drop shocks, and after 80,000 miles that way I want a smooth ride, I do not want to feel a pop cicle stick that transfers up to my stearing wheel, and I feel in the seat. I love the ride now, will look for better shocks sooner than anything though, after the dealer instals the rear sway bar, and as soon as my stage 1 gets here, and I find a front strut brace, it would be the next place to go.

LAF, I knew you'd like the BTG exhaust. You are going to love the Stage I. I had mine installed today. WOW! I love it! [?]

If you are in a hurry PT Tuning will have them faster, and if you mention about the $$$ at Wycoff PT T. will make nice adjustments. Wycoff has to order them from PT T. and PT T. was looking for there's so they could ship any day now. Put mine on order last week, waiting is a killer.
