Default Exhaust question

This is probably a simple question for some but I am hearing different opinions. I want to put new pipes on a 2008 Fat Boy, not enough money yet for a new air intake, do I need a Full pack if only new pipes are put on now? Any help will be appreciated, thanks

No you do not. You will need a tuner WHEN you change the air intake.

If you want to get a good deal check out what Hooker has left. They are getting out of the MC exhaust business and have greatly discounted their remaining stock.

I just put some slip ons on my 07 last week. I've been debating this myself and I've heard several versions of the story. I'm sticking with this too. No intake change, no adjustments....yet
