Thanks for the replies.
I have checked the Vance & Hines site and would go with the FP3 but am concerned about impact on factory H-D warranty in the unlikely event I ever need it. Also since I just replaced with slip-ons the catalytic converter remains in the head pipe and could be damaged if I go too rich with the fuel. I have heard H-D looks for any reason to deny warranty claims and don't want to hear any excuses from them.

IF You change your air intake to use the fp3 or any other tuner . This means HD could still give you a problem on the warranty . The only way to not put your warranty in jeopardy is to leave your bike stock!!!!! And I will bet dollars to doughnuts that even if your bike is stock the stealer ship will try some **** to make you pay something!!!!
As for the cats In the pipe.... when V&H made the map for a dyna with V&H slip ons... They too were made with the cats in the pipe... That's the whole idea, you pick your bike with the V&H pipes you have and the map is a perfect match!!!!!

Had a long talk with the Service Manager at my dealership. Great, great bunch of guys.
He was very clear on the two key aspects regarding potential warranty problems:
1. Simply using a tuner will not void your warranty.
2. However, for example, if you, by mistake, lean out the AFR too far and melt a piston in your brand new bike, it's on you.
So, the risk is that if something goes wrong, somebody's going to have to figure out what it was, and that isn't going to be you. So, be careful, and everything should be fine.
