I just bought the SEUC and wanted to find out what pipes would be the best for the bike and what kind of expense it gonna cost?

Everybody likes something different.
You gotta go with what you like in sound and performance.

Stock with Fullsac Baffles

I just bought the SEUC and wanted to find out what pipes would be the best for the bike and what kind of expense it gonna cost?

 

I've got an 09 SEUC, and I think I've tried both of the most popular choices on mine.  First would be changing the baffles in your stock mufflers to Fullsac baffles (cost approximating $120 to $140) and removing the catalytic converters from your stock exhaust pipes (cost up to $100) or finding a set of exhaust pipes off a 2009 96" motor without the catalytic converters (anywhere from free to $200).  These would be the least expensive routes and you would end up with a very good exhaust system in the $200 to $300 range total.

I then switched mine to the D&D 2 into 1 system (purchased at a discount for $781 including shipping) and I am going to get the dummy left muffler which will cost me another $300.  So you have a pretty sizeable range for what I think are the 2 most popular routes to go with, and there are some others in between that you can look at, such at the Vance & Hines Power Duals.  Many people also go with true dual systems, but if you want the best performance, stick with the stock 2 into 1 into 2 setup or go to the 2 into 1.  The true duals look and sound nice, but they are not performance oriented pipes.

When you change out your exhaust system, you are allowing the engine to exhale more freely, so you should also change out the air cleaner to also allow it to inhale more freely.  Once you have done that, you are allowing the engine to get more air flowing in, so you will want the Electronic Control Module (ECM) adjusted to handle this and have your air to fuel ratio (AFR) adjusted accordingly.  These bikes come from the factory with a lean running condition (too much air compared to fuel) and you are adding to the problem when you open up the intake and exhaust.  You will need to purchase a fuel management system such as the HD Super Tuner, Power Commander, TTS Mastertune, etc.  There are many different fuel mgmt systems available and you will get an array of input on each of these.  My preference is based on the which one your dynotuner knows how to use best.  For the most part, they accomplish the same objective, with some of them having some differing adjustments available.  I think they will all serve the purpose of getting your bike running efficiently.  Cost will vary depending on the unit, and the more expensive ones may not require dyno tuning, and the less expensive ones will need a dynotune.  I happened to go with the HD Super Tuner and had mine dynotuned (cost of approx $700 total) and I am extremely pleased with all aspects of performance now.

Thanks for the response... You guys are a great help... I think like you said I will go with the FulSac to start with and go from there... Once again thanks for the input

I am running a SERG and first did the full sac baffles and coring / cleanup of the crossover.  I liked it but felt there was more that could be done.  I finally, today actually, bite the bullet and ordered the D and D Boss Fat Cat 2 into 1 with ghost pipe from others who are running it and after talking with a HD shop in Oregon who swears by the D and D setup.  This D and D setup isn't cheap but to get good performance you have to pay for it.  I have been attune to spending $100 per hp, well with that is mind, I'm excited for this new pipe.  It is expected to ship by end of week or first part of next week so once it gets here, we'll install and dyno it.  Right now I have about 400 miles on the bike and hope to have 1k on it by time pipe goes on.  If not, we'll tune it, run for a bit and then do another re-tune to it.  I can't wait to see what it does.  Will keep ya posted.
