Default 08 softail classic modification

I have a 2008 classic and I am thinking about changing the exhaust and I am being told that I have to dyna tune it because of the fuel injection the dealer said with exhaust, air cleaner and dyno I am looking at 1200.00&nbsp\\; was wondering if that was true of is the dealer just trying to get some extra money. Also I was wondering when you travel do you guys use a cover so no one bothers it or just leave it un covered&nbsp\\; thanks Vince

That sounds reasonable. I would go with a Thundermax unless your dyno guy is good and you plan on not changing the exhaust again.
