Shouldn't , the '07 &amp\\; up are supposed to have enought latitude in the computer/02 sensors to compensate &amp\\; recalibrate. I would suggest some Xied wires to helps chill the exhaust temps from factory settings.

I was getting some pop on the decel when I first switched them but that stopped. I rode for three hours yesterday and didn't hear one pop.

MY SE Fat Boy with the 103" engine runs great with the Rip Saws. The previous owner had them installed. He also had power cones put in. I don't know how much the power cones help in the overall performance, but I have no popping or any noticeable loss of power in the low to mid range, which I have read&nbsp\\;happens when using drag pipes..
My only complaint is the pipes are extremely loud. I have added Khrome Werks HP drag pipe baffles, which lowered the sound level a tad and didn't seem to effect the performance.
Tom.

Sounds good. Also are you running a stock air filter,&nbsp\\;and what colour are your plugs?

I have basically got the stage 1. pipes, remap from dealer, air filter. I don't have a power commander. Is there anything else I should be lookin out for as far as the engine runnin too hot from no baffles.Im aware of the plugs but I understand its harder to judge by the plugs with EFI.&nbsp\\;I've been on city rides and 3 hour straight country rides and she runs great. LIke I said poppin has stopped. I don't want to mess with it if its unnecessary,slight power loss but hardly noticeable. Can't beat the sound,loud and deep growl.
