Default Fishtails and Tune?

Seriously considering Fishtails for the final touch on my 05 FLSTC next season. Currently running V&H Straight Shots. After the Stage 2 work was done, she was put on a Dyno, and a completely different bike came off. Curious if I'll need to have her re-dyno'ed after the exhaust swap. I'm thinking so, but like some input from the experts. Thanks.

Yes, different pipes will need a tune. Dynos get pricey but the end result...
Be a good time double check you have everything you want for intake/exhaust this time around, last dyno

I had it done almost 3 years ago, didn't have plans on making changes. Happy with the performance mods I have now, gave her the much needed pull off the line and thru the revs when loaded and 2UP. Just really like the look of the Tails. I think that be the finishing touch. Thanks TF.

If I do decide, most likely go with either Freedom or Samson. My Indy really likes the Freedoms. No baffles for me. I like em loud.

I should have answered your question as, 'yes, you should dyno it for best performance'.

Edit: I take for granted that everyone wants their scoot running top peak performance, thats not always the case.
