SilverBiker --> did you only change the exhaust? or did you change the air intake as well?
If you only changed the exhaust you should be fine without a download, if you changed the air intake then you will need the download.

cost per hr.
I would say fuel management package from Thunder-Max or others. I see Fuel Moto mentioned often here, might check that out if you are going to do other mods in future.
I like my Thunder-Max got it through Cateye customs. Sorry to hear that shop rates are high in your area, here in Eastern Washington rates are $55-60 an hour. my Indy just went up to $60.00, I think the HD dealer is a wee more per hour, and they love to nail folks for precious dyno time, been there done that and went Thunder Max after that.
Just my .02 cents.
Cheers - Mark

Leave the ECM alone and buy a Fuel Management Device. V & H Fuelpak can be found for < $ 200.00, PCIII for < $ 250.00. You can easily install yourself. Then in the future if you do any other changes your set.
