    I know its been asked before but i want some fresh answers. 

    I will be upgrading to either stage 3 or 4 but cant decide which one.  I want to still be able to do long trips but also want the extra hp and torque. So i still want a bike thats rideable. Its a 2011 softail which will be 96-103 and i want to get to around 110 hp and similar in torque but not sure if i can achieve this with the stage 3 kit? 

    My gut tells me go straight for the stage 4. Then comes the exhaust decision!!

    2 into 1 will obviously flow better and give better results but its fuckin hard to find a decent looking set of pipes that dont have that jap look. The v&h big rad 2into1 looks ok bUt does it sound good? If iI leave my 2 into 2 pipes on will there be that much difference in power loss?

    Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi. Standard heads will limit you to 100hp max. Lots of stage 2 103 bikes with a cam change making around 110 torque.

    Thanks fat.

    The stage 4 has ported heads so it should push to around 110hp yeah?

    Fark the SE StageIV build your own 107 and gat what ya after, have your stock heads worked, Stock barrels bored and pick a cam and set up to that

    Then go and bet up on a stageIV
