All I can say is wow!!! What a difference in power. This is how it should come from factory. Plus the pipe gives it a mean head turning sound!!

Aprox. how loud is the race can over the stock can? Think it will people off in an apartment complex early in the morning?

Where in the rpm range is the power increase? Did you lose power anywhere? Any glitches and was it an easy install?

It's around the sound level of screaming eagles on the Harley's. It shouldn't PO the neighbors as long as you keep the rpms down. Don't feel any power loss but I gained a good amount above 4K. It really pulls at 5K.

The race can adds some nice low frequency rumble and accounts for a more raspy growl both at and off idle. It's nowhere as loud as the D&D or Force. The Drummer has a deeper sound at about the same "noise" level but without the raspiness.

I for one like my race muffler, however...

There is a definite hole in the midrange with the race kit which is made up for on the top end.

Add the Techlusion and it's near perfect.

What exactly is this Techlusion? A different type of ECM?

The techlusion is similar to a power commander. It adds fuel in certain areas. It seems that even with a race ecm a buell is running lean in certain areas. The techlusion solves that by adding fuel.

It does not replace the ecm but works along side the ecm. Here's the Techlusion site.

Do you use the Techlusion with the race ECM of stock?

You may use it with either.
