100% sure I can ride it without a new tune without doing any damage? Can I get that in writing? Lol I am just worried that what if just changing the pipe makes it run really rich and messes up the front pipe...or something along those lines.
I will post the comparison dyno for sure. I havent been able to find anyone that has a comparable dyno with the BSS versus the Pro Pipe on the same bike with the only thing changing was the pipes.

I'd wait. Why risk discoloring the new pipe? Also, you will probably worry about it most of the ride and it will take away from enjoying the ride. Keep the BSS on - it will give you one good last ride to pay extra attention to how it rides now, so you can better compare to how the new pipe affect the ride.
I hope you have better luck with your torque dip than I did. I went 2-1 and still have a nasty torque dip. Maybe the Bassani RR 2-1 short is just too short? Still think about a Fatcat, but don't want to mess with retuning any time soon. Curious to see what gains you experience, as I had BSS on my bike when I purchased it and bike pulled really strong down low. Changed cams, then exhaust, then big bore, more pipes, etc., etc, but have never got that real strong bottom end back.

Crazy you had the BSS and went to the Bassani RR and you LOST torque down low? That makes no sense at all. Lol

Yes, I can wait and I am going to. And yes, my tuner said he had no idea if he would hurt or not (obvisouly not wanting to say it would be ok and then if I have a problem coming back to him saying "but you said... "). Lol So I expected him to say what he did. I was more curious as to hear people that have done it.

I had BSS, then V&H Big Radius 2-1, then Bassani Pro Streets 2-2 - none ever felt as strong as BSS down low, but the cam change was probably a bigger factor than pipes. I had problems with ProStreets always loosening at the heads and was chasing power, so I got a Fatcat. Never really got it tuned in just right and barely got to ride it before I got hit by truck and pipe was totaled.
I had a slight torque dip with the V&H Big Radius. Worse dip with ProStreets, and everything on dyno sheet moved to the right. I thought going back to 2-1 would move torque back to left, but not like I had hoped. I had done several engine mods during these times, unfortunately, so I was never able to do much direct comparisons of dyno runs, except for V&H BR 2-1 vs Bassani ProStreet. Looking forward to yours.

Yes the BSL's have the crossover chamber. I did gain 10hp and about 7 tq but I also did new heads and throttle body. How much of that was the pipe, IDK. You will like it.
