Or do i still need a powervision / fuelpack etc.. when changing pipes.

The guy at the Harley Store really wasn't sure. He said he knew they had a "download"

the have the stage one download or similar cvo program , but if you change things your still going to need it tuned for maximum results, probably get by with the stock program with just pipes but watch for signs of it running lean.And you would still get more results from any mods with it tuned for them. So I guess the answer to if you NEED it was maybe.

If you do any mods other than exhaust, you will need a tuner. I would advise you to get a tuner anyway, just to richen the mixture a bit. Harley's run lean from the factory.
