Default back to stock

Just had my 96 booted to a 103 with 255 cams and a SE A/C with reinhart slip ons. If I go back to the stock mufflers, would I have to remap the bike. I was also tol to pull the cat converters out of the head pipes and that would give me a little more HP Is there any truth to this

Simple answer is If mama aint happy, aint nobody happy
No really, I just put J&M 7.25 speakers in it, and still cant hardly hear it. Is there a better slip on I could go to?

A Supermeg will do it for you, more power less sound.

If you left the cats in when you went to the louder pipes, there may not be much change. Seems to me would run just a little richer if anything.
Nowadays that isn't a bad thing.
Watch the plugs.
