Quick question on swapping muffs
I have a 2019 FLHT Electra Std. with the 107" M8 stock to the bone.
I just picked up a set of H-D stock un-modded 2018 CVO slip ons,I wouldn't think I'd need any change in tune but this is my first EFI bike so I thought I'd ask.
Only change would be the mufflers,stock airbox etc.
Good to go or no?
Thanks all!

If ya want a bit more sound, personally (have done many times). I would stand the pipes up on inlet clamp side on plywood and drive it thru (open) before installing.
I have about a 1" solid rod that has a sharp tapered point and poind it thru with a hammer. Last set I did was VERY tough but none the less it opened.
Oops thought I lost last post and didn't know it posted.

Nope and some even go to high flow air cleaner included without a tune. M8s are more forgiving than its predecessor.

My last bike (2000 FLHTC) had a 103" build with cams ported heads etc. and Rinehart true duals,it was a bit obnoxious
.I ran drags in my youth and as I get older then less I want loud,65 now and like the toned down sound but the stocks on the FLHT are a little too quiet,even the wife said so ha ha.

To me the CVO mufflers were quieter than the stockers. You can punch/drill out the centers and they are still quiet. They look better but you might be disappointed in the sound.
Good luck...
