I just installed the Staintunes on my 07 America, and they are fantastic. The sound is perfect, a nice tone that reminds me of the Rinehart true duals I had on my Road King. Loud but not offensive when you open the throttle, mellow at cruising speed, and definitely sweet at idle. I re-jetted with 135 mains as they recommended, no other changes. Pulled out the snorkel as well. Highly recommended.

I have Staintunes on my 03 Speedy and I like them a lot. They aren't as common as some other brands, maybe because of price, but I think they are worth the money. I pulled mine off last winter and cleaned them up, and I was impressed that they didn't have a speck of corrosion on them after 3 seasons. They looked like new. I run mine with the end reducers in. I've never had the reducers out while riding, but I've heard the sound isn't much louder. Here's a picture of when I was doing my clean-up job. (After three seasons of riding!)

I've got Staintunes on my 05' America and run 135 mains with
3.25 turns. I took the restrictors out and haven't noticed much change. I love the pipes and would recommend them to anyone.

Have not had a dyno run but the Staintune web site claims an increase of 8.5 hp....I do notice an increase in power with mine...suits me.

I don't know how to post the file, but if you PM me with you email addy, I can send it to you.
It's not of my bike though. I think I got it from someone else here.

Yep. Sounds great in real life. The sewing machine sounds of the stock pipes was kind of cool, but the Staintunes give a nice, richer sound...and don't upset my neighbors when I crank her up at 5:30am.

Tony,
Without some work, HD baffles will not fit the OEM pipes. If one header or the exhaust pipe is discoloring differently than the other, it indicates an imbalance. Sync/balance the carbs first....
