If you have the stage 1 down load from HD your bike will run with in specs. The real advantages of a PCIII or equivelant is the reduced heat, better running motor. You can also expect HP and TQ gains of about 10% which is alot for a bike.

I have Screamin Eagle II slip ons and a K&N AC. (not yet installed)

With just the slip ons, I get some popping. I have purchased the PCIII from Jamie at Fuel Moto but have not yet put it on.
