1st let me say sorry if this has already been covered. I have a 17 street glide special with Screamin Eagle Ventilator air cleaner and V&H Eliminator 400 slip ons WITH a Stage 1 tune. My question is, does it need to be retuned for the V&H Power Duals Head pipe that I am getting ready to put on? Any input welcome and thanks in advance!
It will run ok with the current tune but it certainly will not be optimal. When you lose the cat you really need a re tune to provide a little more fuel.

Thank you. You think doing a Smart Tune session with my SE ProStreet Tuner will do it justice?

If you remove the cat you void the warranty and with oil transfer and other problems think i would wait until warranty was up.

Understandable, but...the transmission oil transfer issue isn't a warranty concern unless it causes a failure. That is something that would be covered under a recall

Yeaaaaah.... the trans fluid transfer is definitely a warranty issue.
Okay I wouldn't think the car industry is much different than the motorcycle...but correct me if I am wrong...If there is an issue, that is the direct result of a manufacturing flaw, and they put out a recall for it, then it is NOT a warranty issue and is something a licensed dealer/shop MUST fix, warranty or not. If it were a warranty, then a person with a vehicle not within warranty, would not be able to have it fixed free of charge...thus... given that there is a service bulletin (which leads to a recall notice 99% of the time) it is not a warranty issue. But I am not here to argue, I would like to return to the topic of this thread with the whole tuning thing. Thank you fellas and have a great evening.
Yes it needs to be retuned, & the SE tuner is very limited in it's abilities, unless you go to a better tuner about all you will gain is a little more sound. Good luck with your warranty-no warranty issue, it's a different ballgame now.
