Slip ons
 
Going to make a purchase for my new Dyna. My question if I go with slip-ons will I need a Power Commander? if I go without what should I expect. Thanks for your help. Tom

No tuner needed with just slip-ons. If you go with "loud" pipes, know that those pipes have very little backpressure and will only really give you a little HP boost at the top end, but you will lose low end torque.

I have V&H Straightshots with their quiet baffle installed. I like them, good "Harley" sound, but quieter and deeper than with the standard straightshot baffle, which was just too much.

You wont need the power commander unless you change your air breather setup, or if you add pipes with the air breather. Speaking of slip-ons and not to hijack your thread, Ive got a set of cycle shacks for a fat bob for sale.

I have cycle shacks, and love them. Cost like 130 new. I bought them 1.5 yrs ago as a temp before I purchase a complete exhaust. Still have not replaced them! Cant beat it, and sounds great. I did not do any downloads or anything. But I do still have a stock air cleaner.

you dont need any kind of fuel management with slip ons....even if you add an air cleaner all you really need is the stage 1 flash from the dealer (you technicaly dont even need that as the newer FI bikes will adjust to small upgrades like this)

Cycle Shack slip-ons here too. I have the stock air cleaner and didnt do any programming. Bike sounds and runs great.

I'll program it when I move to a full exhaust and heavy breather.

I have an 07 SG and I just put on V&H straight shots and a stage 1 air kit on it, got the stage 1 down load from the dealer and I'm happy as hell. Nice noise and noticably quicker. I think I saved a good amt of scratch on the download vs a fuel-pac.

worst that will happen is a little popping on decel

I have Rush 2.0 and think they sound really good. Pop rarely on the decel but only when I was really on the throttle.
