Default Changing slip-ons

I have a 2010 EGC, can I change the mufflers only and not do a stage 1 on my bike?

I have a friend with a set of Sampson slip-ons that I can have.


Thanks

I guess that yes you can but later there can be some discoloration. Even with stage 1 download and AC you will have discoloration and popping

Your bike is lean from the factory. Conventional "wisdom" would say that only changing the exhaust slightly probably wouldn't do much harm. I'd play it safe and do something to richen it up a bit. And then you may as well do the intake and get to stage one.

You could also look into getting it to run a little richer.
Check out Nightrider.com. I've been hearing good things about them.
