Sounds like a good plan.. I think you would be happy with that BK 103kit & an exhaust.. Jamie / Lakeside

Kirk,
I agree CMI is also a good system & has its place in the market without question. It's just good to also have more than one option.. On tighter twin applications the Cmi is the only other good way I know to go when looking for more bling & power.. I also cant say anything bad about the quality of their pipes, every set we have sold or installed to date has been "A ok".. It's just too bad the pricing is not a little bit better on their products, Although everything everywhere is expensive anymore.. Jamie / Lakeside
