I've asked several dealers and other people, I wanted to de cat my stock header but was told that there isn't enough back pressure and I will have issues even with a tuner. They advised that the FP3 is the only tuner compatible with the 2017 M8 motor.
dealers also stated the V&H power duals or Rinehart headers, my choice of mufflers, SE air cleaner and a FP3 would be the best setup....
im looking for heat reduction on the passenger more than performance, although I'll accept performance upgrade too
Anyone have thoughts on this or is or suggest a better combo?

I think it"s personal perferance mostly, I had rhinharts on my ultra classic. I think the rineharts sound great at idle, but at high rpm they sound like a nascar. Rinehart does make headers for nascar, V&H makes headers for Harley Davidson drag bikes. Figured I would try the V&H this go around.
My passanger never once complained about heat until I let her drive one day when it was 90 degrees out.
