I know it is probably here somewhere, but I couldn't find it in a search. I have 06' Softail Standard with FI. Any instructions for giving a little more noise? If I do this do I have to change intake and mapping? Thanks.

By all means don't gutt the exhaust. You will loose torque at the bottom end of the range that is noticable. You can install slipons without remapping but fuel enrichment would always help on that bike as they are very lean to start with. A TFI will work well for you if you also add the intake and you can forget the remap by the dealer.

Here's some input on the TFI... https://www.hdforums.com/m_291301/tm.htm

Also take a cruise through this section too... https://www.hdforums.com/forumid_247...smode_1/tt.htm

 

Brian,
TCSTD is 100% correct. DO NOT gut your exhaust. If you can't afford to buy slip on's right know, just wait and save your $$$$.

 

So, if I put slip ons on I don't have to have it remapped? The K&N would be a good idea though? Other than the obvious, why would the dealer tell me I have to get remapped? The obvious being they get more of my money.

Re READ post #2

 

I'm not sure if there would be a difference between bikes or not, but when I changed JUST my exhaust with the SE Slipons I had ALOT of popping on deceleration and backfiring. So I personally would have to disagree with the just going slipons and being ok. If you wanna do it for about a month before getting the TFI or some type of programmer I would say your fine, but I wouldn't leave it that way for lone.

Just my experience with this situation.

 

So, the only thing I need to do is: 1) Put on new pipes.
2) Install TFI.
3) Adjust TFI

Then if I install the K&N later just readjust the TFI? What about remapping? Is the TFI the same as a remap? If this is all, I will just do it myself. Hell if it's that easy I'm mechanicaly inclined enough to do that. Is there different TFIs for different setups and different kinds of pipes? Thanks for all the help and patience.

 

The TFI replaces the stage one download to the fuel map.

Follow the TFI instructions and you'll have it running in no time. When you get to the intake, you'll have to adjust the TFI which again which is a very simple process.

 

This sounds like an easy do it yourself mod to me. Thanks guys, I appreciate all the help. I hope I haven't been to much of a PITA. Thanks again.
