Default Street cannons and no converter

Debating gutting my converter, currently running Street Cannons on my 103. Nice sound as it is, want a little more volume but don't want popping on decel. Any before an after input on this combo?

Thanks

Just put Street Cannons on my 09 Electra Glide: no cat from the factory. I've a fair amount of popping, but it's just because I didn't flash the ECM yet - I'll do it in the morning since it's going to rain (BC what do you expect?). I'm sure it'll smooth out the lean.

You may need a fuel enriching device or a tuner if there are more modifications to the Bike.
The Bikes start out lean from the factory, if you just added Street Cannons and not some
type of stage-I air cleaner. Taking the Catalytic Converter out of the header pipe will make it
run leaner. So deceleration popping will probably happen, I would get a tuner with autotune.

Thank you for the input gentlemen. I assumed it would have a lean pop so Ill get a tuner as well.

Let us know how it works and sounds. I have the street cannons with stock cat headers and SE stage 1 A/C on my 16 RGU, giving serious thought to decatted headers or V&H power duels. My goal is more to reduce the heat from the cats than more power, but of course more power is always welcome. A tuner would certainly be part of the package too.
