Default New exhaust, tuning?

He all got a killer deal on craigs list today, samson caliber 2 into 1 like new, only 100 miles, guys wife didnt like the noise and went back to stock after one 1000 mile ride. $175 bucks seems like a good deal. Question is, shuld I have to do any carb work. my bike is a 91 fatboy still 80inch but has high comp pistons, screaming eagle stage 2 cam, carb kit and some mild port work also has the adjustable screaming eagle ignition module. How can I tell if its not running to lean. im going to put it on tonight but wont be able to ride till friday as long as the weather gets better. and will I get buch more power out of these over the longshots that I had on it? thanks for any advice and I will get picture of her once its on!

Put in a fresh set of plugs and check their color after a couple hundred miles, if you get carb popping it could also mean lean conditions.

I would imagine you would be fine going from duals to a 2into1.

I recently put on a Thunderheader from Short Shots and haven't done any changes yet to the carb setting (CV carb). But getting ready to put on a Screaming Eagle air cleaner set-up this weekend (awesome Ebay find)...but my stock aircleaner is modified quite a bit to allow more air flow.

I would probably twist in a new set of plugs and listen for the decel pop and then check the plugs later...nice looking pipe btw.
