Cool Exhaust system

What's the straight scoop on a new exhaust system? Do you have to have a new "Fuel Management System" or can the dealer adjust the stock one to richen up for the new pipes. I have a 10 Deluxe.

the ecm on your 2010 can compensate for moderate changes to exhaust and air intake. but if you go all out with open pipes and hi-flow breather you can add at least $400.00 or so for fuel management. popping/backfiring means you went too far, running lean. overheating and engine damage will likely follow.

If your putting exhaust system on, I would imagine your putting new A/C? I would recommend fuel management.
