I wasn't sure if that was a 103 thing or if he was just full of crap.

That may be correct. I know if you add Rush slip ons larger then 2.0's you will need fuel management. You can go to 2.25" if you have a catalytic converter without adding fuel mgt. This info is from Rush so I'm not sure if it applies to Rines or V&H but their new 4" slip ons are pretty nice.

Exclamation Vance & Hines!

Vance And Hines is installing there exhaust here for Bikeweek for 'about' that same price(give or take), depending on the pipes you choose of course. The best part about theres is you don't have to put in an expensive, complicated Power Commander, all you need is the V & H fuel pack. Its very easy to install and program yourself. Look into it, you won't be sorry.

V&H Fuelpak about $225-250 new.
PCV about &290 new.

Doesn't seem like too much of a difference. I ran Fuelpaks for 3 years & they were nice. Last year I switched to the PCV from Fuelmoto. I prefer the PCV.

wow, never knew that the diameter of the baffels makes a difference in needing a fuel management. i understand the logic in the nead of one when you open up the a/c, but mufflers only...just never heard that.
