Slip on mufflers
Looking for some more information on slip ons I just got a great deal on reinhartsslip ons. My biggest question is do i have to retune the bike ? I have and 07 dyna super glide , all stock . I just want to add the slip ons to the bike nothing else. H D dealer said yes they want to put on a stage 1 kit on . I do not want a stage 1 kit . Just want the bike to have a little loudness to it. I also know a little about, if you change the air flow you need to put in a little more fuel to the motor . Could that be done by H D dealership by just reprograming what I installed ? NEED SOME HELP I just want to do it right THANKS PHIL

RE: Slip on mufflers
I'll just tell you what I was told last summer.
If you're just doing the slip ons, and no AC, you'll be fine.
Again, only repeating whatI was told on this forum, I'm no expert, I'm sure someone else will chime in.

Phil I have an 06 BOB with Rinehart slip ons, SE/AC KN filter and PCIII . 75hp , 78 torque. If you put on the Rineharts you might as well go stage 1. Many will say that the down load is not worth it but if you don't wanna go the route of dyno tuning it'll due. The stage 1 will really let the motor breathe.

RE: Slip on mufflers
I was told the same thing by several peeps...if just doing slip-on you will be OK as is.
I just did the stage one on my Fat Bob....and went with the download to be on the safe side. Really considering the PCIII Blueshift do ya like your PCIII and was it easy to install?
Thanks

I did the install and it was like packing 10 pounds of chit into a 1 pound bag, not alot of room under the seat.If you take your time it's not too bad. I'm an electrician which helped.If you are mechanical you should be fine. I did the closest download and nursed it to a good dyno tuner about 15 miles from my house. It's been running for a year and no problems. I've pulled the plugs
a few times and they look perfect. IMO PCIII or SERT definitely worth the money.

RE: Slip on mufflers
For what it's worth I noticed on the harley website that replacing stock mufflers with screaming eagles which are street legal is good for a modest hp&tq gain from idle on up .They even show a dyno chart.NO WHERE does it say that you have to make any other changes to use these mufflers.Also I called RUSH and talked to the guy there and he said if you used his mufflers with the 1.75 baffles there would be no need to change anything.So I tend to believe that as long as you are using a slip on with adequate back pressure it's ok.

RE: Slip on mufflers
I have the cycleshack slipons and when I upgraded the air components I bought a power commander.
However when I just had the slipons I did not have to dyno tune or anything.
I will tell you one thing. When you spend the 100$ for a new breathing system you will feel the power.

I got mine at ACM on ebay, using their "Make an Offer" function. It was a good deal.
