Default Vance & Hines Twin Slash 3 Inch Slip-Ons quick question

Would I need a fuel pack or any tuning if I went for the Vance & Hines Twin Slash 3 Inch Slip-Ons?

Your help is appreciated.

Just put the 3" slip-ons onto my 2014 Iron 883 and didn't need a fuel pak or tuning. Pretty simple and straightforward install.

No backfiring.

Just be careful when installing the muffler to the mounting bar, it requires you use the existing hardware. I had a bolt sheer off and needed to take the slip-on to my local dealership to remove. They ended up having to cut it out with a welder and weld in a new nut.

I was not torquing on it excessively, it just sheered.

Not unless you also got a stage. 1 AC then you'll be fine. Change the AC too and you'll need to get a tuner.

Pipes only = not necessary. Just make sure you get a good seal between the pipe/header joint. I recommend using High-Temp Silicone (i.e. liquid copper) on the "inner" surface of your pipe when you slip it into place. Then torque to spec, ride 50-miles and re-check torque. Should be good...

No backfiring? I backfire a lot on my 48... No other engine mods done to the bike, just the pipes.
