If I were to switch out my stock (2007 FLHT) slip on exhaust for a screamin eagle exhaust, do i need to do anything else? ie calibration, etc... (i hope not)

103 ci
Screamin' Eagle heads
Works direct drive cams
10.25:1 compression (w/compression release on heads)
A.I.M. clutch
Two teeth off the engine sprocket
