Advise needed

On Friday I put on 2" rush slip ons, no mods to the air cleaner. I'm getting a small amount of decel popping and being the asz that I am had to sit in the driveway thumping the throttle preety hard and a couple of times I had flame coming out, ok maybe I should not be such a asz to disturb a particular neighbor. Hears my dilema, I'm doing upgrades to a/c and other things this winter and wanted to wait till spring to get it remapped. Question is, will this decel popping harm anything? Like the sound and would prefer not to put the stock ones back on. Picture is with stock mufflers. Thanx

RE: Advise needed

There is no remap for the 07's unless you use the Screaming Eagle Street Legal mufflers.. 06's (88's ) there was a race download for aftermarket slip on's.. There getting funny with there coverage on the 96's and looking for any opening.. Take them off when you do your 1000 mile service... Regaurdlessif you've done theA/C or not... Best to get the SERT and pipes of your choice, Have it tuned.. It's hard to wait I know.... Trotter

Thanx, if I leave the 2" rush for maybe another 2k miles will it cause any damage, I'm doing the 5000 mile service next week myself. Paid the dealer to do the 1000k and will never pay them again to do what I can, then I'm assured its done right

Leave um on... Check your plugs..It was popping with the stock exhaust you just could'nt hear it as loud. If ya change the A/C thats diffrent.. There is a down load for the 96 withthe S/E A/C and S/E Slip on's But not enough for warrenty with Aftermarket SlipOn's so they say.... LOL
Listen to the cop bikes they just bolt anything on and run the Pi$$ out of them

RE: Advise needed

Been getting more popping and backfiring myself lately- seems worse with certain brands of gas - always run 92 or 93 octane and try to stay with Mobil, but a few other brands seem to increase the issue quite a bit. Might be imagining it (?) but don't think so. Have the SERT, so will be getting the bike dynoed in a couple of weeks after the 1000 mile service as it's driving me nuts! But certainly suspect it is blowing out the fiberglass in my V&H quiet baffles as they get broken in, which probably is related - less restriction, leaner running, more backfires!

They'll clean it up when they tune it..Try to talk to the tuner and get a feelfor his Knowledge of the sert.... And if he's comfortable useing it.. Test ride before ya leave, Get it up to operating temp, find a hill and let er rip and back off.. Short shots maygurgle a little...

RE: Advise needed

Trotter thanks for the advice, your right about the popping with the stock mufflers but I only heard it a couple of times and basically ignored it because it was so infrequant. I'll pull the plugs this weekend any advise on what to replace them with ? Always use premium Mobil from high volume dealers so I'm not too concernerd about gas causing any of this.
