Default 2-1 Install

Hello,

If the exhaust is swapped from Stock [with SE Mufflers] to a 2-1 Supertrapp on an 09 FLHX, do I need to re-tune?

I have a TTS, and had my bike professionally tuned on a dyno.

I've heard I can install, and let the bike idle and the ECM will correct itself.

Any truth to that?

Thanks

See you in Sturgis.

You will need to go back to the dyno if you want it right. Your tune was set up for stock exhaust/SE mufflers. Going to a 2/1 will change your tune. The ecm will adapt to changes in temp, altitude, etc., but it won't retune for a different exhaust. That's what your TTS will do when you have it retuned.
