Do I need a tuner?
I have a 2014 street glide special with a 103 I bought the bike used and it had Vance and Hines big radius pipes on it. I am going back with stock header and the cat cut out with I’m guessing some eBay specials with angle cut mufflers. I got the whole system cheap. I’m changing cause tired of the loud pipes on the side. My question is do I need to get a tuner and have it Dynoed or can the dealer do a tune on it without a programmer? I don’t plan on hopping this bike up, This is my cruiser for me and the wife. Thanks for any input

Made that mistake once. Had the dealer flash a new map. They charged me $200 for 5 min of work, and the bike ran worse.
I could say buy a tuner, but just change the pipe and see how it runs before you do anything else. In normal riding the O2 sensors will make some compensation.

Poll people who have had their bikes tuned fro the mods, especially exhaust and/cam changes.
Ya got the system cheap. Don’t cheap out on getting the best running and smoothest, most responsive ride from your modded bike.
