Hi all I'm a fairly new member from Canada. I picked up a black 2013 Stryker last month and feel like its time to part ways with the stock exhaust. I have my mind set on VH Big Radius (and yes I'll be ceramic coating them black). I have two questions.

1) what's the cheapest place to buy them. I couldn't find anything lower than Low and Mean's price of $629

2) is anyone running a cobra PowerPro Fi2000 with these? Is it a good combination? My initial choice was PCV with PC auto tuner but I don't wanna weld O2 sensor bungs. I'm looking for a cleaner looking solution.

Thanks guys in advance. This is a great thread with a world of knowledge. Love the Stryker community

If you're already set on the V&H then DON'T get the Cobra autotuner. They don't like each other on MOST peoples install.
If you want the V&H get the PVC and it's Autotuner or take it to a reputable dyno man and remap.

If you Want the Cobra autotuner (Fi2000) then get the Cobra pipes as they already have a crossover between the pipes and one bung is all you need, yeah... They come in black too.

Plug the part # of the pipes you decide to get into Amazon for the best price. Maybe even Ebay on a "Buy it now" price but I prefer Amazon.

I've got the V&H Big Radius and I run the Dobeck Electronic Jet Kit (EJK) and it works flawlessly. Plus it costs half of what the PCV costs, and you don't have to have it dyno'd. My Stryker kicks now.

I also got the V&H pipes for $566 shipped. I can't for the life of me remember which online vendor, but it was one of those places where you had to add it to your shopping cart before you saw the "real" price... And it was a legit place, too. Not some shady, unknown online scammer.

You can also look at the Freedom Performance Big Radius pipes. They come in black, have the same sweeping style as the V&H pipes.
They have the cross-over pipe as well according to the rep I talked to. I don't know how well they play with the Cobra autotune, but figure you may have a better chance of it working seeing the pipes that work best with it seem to be 2 into 1's or pipes with the crossover. The pipes also come with two o2 bungs installed already. If you decide to go with the PCV and it's autotune, you just have one more bung to install if you want the dual tune or just get the single channel tuner and use the second bung for that. Seeing that the PCV unit requires the stock o2 sensor, you'd have to make your choice on single or dual tuner.
Or just go with some of the other tuners out there.

FYI, Freedom Performance has an authorized reseller in BC Canada.

Being Canadian your best bet for your purchase should be through your dealer. You should have a discount for the first year. This should beat or match the cost from the States after you pay the shipping cost. As far as the tuner goes, if you don't have after market air then you should not need a tuner. Try just unplugging your O2 sensor. That is what I dod with mine after I put on the V&H Twins.

For what it's worth, the dyno guy who dyno'd my bike last weekend said the V&H fuel pack is worthless junk.

They don't work well, they offer no real adjustment and won't tell the dyno techs how to adjust or program them.

His words.

Did you have to do any adjustments to the EJK system. I Was looking to get one for my bike its all just a bit confusing to me wit the light system. Or is it plug and play
