08 Fatbob Pipes
I just bought my first HD, 08 Fatbob. \\; I love everything about this bike. \\; I want a "bigger sound" from the bike. \\; I have been looking at the VH Big Radius pipes. \\; Will these give me a bigger sound not so muffeled? \\; Also sorry about the dumb question but I noticed they sale a Fuel Pak and then some people have a PCIII? \\; Can someone help me out as to what I need to get the most sound and performance out of my exhaust?

RE: 08 Fatbob Pipes
I went with the Big Radius also, along with a Stage 1 air cleaner and remap at my Harley dealer. I am happy as hell with the way she runs now. I am not in to all this fine tuning and tinkering around.................just give me something that will haul azz!! And I feel like I have it now!!

RE: 08 Fatbob Pipes
If I get the V&\\;H Big Radius pipes and a SE Air Cleaner would I need to take my bike in and have them remap it? \\; Would I need to purchase a SERT? \\; I am thinking of installing the pipes and air cleaner myslef, but I sure don't want to screw my motor ip if it runs lean?

kmcelroy - I think the dealer would have to remap the fuel injection. You should be able to do everything else, I think. I would not run it very long with out the remap...................don't really know if it would run without the remap. You will love the pipes and the setup!!

I did 2" Rush slip ons and didn't have to have the Stage I download but did it anyway. \\; Rush recommended it if I were going to ride in higher elevations than sea level. \\; My next move is a Thundermax ECM. \\; More expensive than the SERT or PCIII but no dyno required if you do additional engine mods. \\; It will recalibrate itself.

you never get something for nothing . if you just \\; change the pipes you will be ok but if you go with a high flow air cleaner and free flowing exhaust you will most definatly need a remap at the minimum. if you plan on doing nothing more then the fuelpack should be sufficent , but if any engine mods are in the future then I would suggest either a pc111 , sert or something like the thundermax.

Got myself a set of Vance &\\; Hines SSS on my '08 Fat Bob and a high flow air cleaner with no remaps and its running real smooth. A little popping on decelaration, but nothing too major. You'll love it!

none of the annoying popping on decel that you get with some of the other Fuel management systems.
