Re-Tune Question

Presently I have a decatted stock headpipe, using CVO cans with 2" fullsac baffles. Also using a Power Vision unit. 2014 103, stock cams.
If I replace the stock headpipe with a FuelMoto or Fullsac 2-1-2 header will the mapping require a change? Perhaps Auto Tune will make the corrections?
Thanks

if you got the power vision from fuel Moto you can go to their site and request a tune. just tell what you have and they will email the tune.

Even if you get a tune from Fuel Moto, probably a good idea to fine tune it.
If you get the pipe from Fuel Moto he might throw in a tune.

Yeah, I need to give them a call next week, I did purchase my Power Vision from them so I'm pretty sure they will be helpful as far as tuning goes.

Spoke with an Indy near me last week. He said that a header won't really bring anything new to the table for me, other then it might displace heat better than the OEM decatted head pipe.

I was hoping for a different exhaust tone....maybe deeper?
I've never added an aftermarket header before to a HD.
Any chance he is correct on his statement?
I live in Northern Michigan, so temperatures over 80F are not the norm.

Can not speak from my own experience, but I got the same advice from my Indy regarding little to be had swapping out a decatted pipe for a header. Any increase in perceived power is likely the result of a lighter wallet....
