I have a 2014 XL1200V and installed the V&H Straight Shots ($250 for the mufflers which I installed), Screamin Eagle stage 1 air cleaner kit with HD stage 1 remap done by the dealer ($350).
Of course the bike sounds 10x better than with the stock exhaust. Based on what I can feel there has been a slight improvement in power with the new intake and a significant improvement in throttle response with the remap (also a reduction in popping after installing the pipes prior to the remap).
I'm not sure if the improved throttle response is due to having a lousy initial set-up or if the air filter and remap typically provide that type of improvement in general.
