Thanks

Opinions vary greatly on this. You don't necessarily have to have a tuner since you are only modifying the exhaust. However, Harley's come from the factory lean so it would not hurt if you did add some type of fuel management such as the Xied's or a Power Vision. Hope this helps you out

Below is also a Overview of EFI options, it has many different options.

I know its been commented on a lot but answers seem to be all over the place.

The difference at the cat with vs without is about 300˚F

my plan was to reduce the heat, I knew it would be some louder but don't want it to sound like "pooh"

Thanks everyone, great to hear about the heat reduction, I know, sooner or later by the time the warmer weather gets here Im going to get rid of it or check out a new set of headers.

I followed your link and read up on it some and it seems the power vision is a good one to go with if you are a beginner in the tuning of your fuel injected motorcycle cause it has the auto tune feature, is that right?
