Red face Slip on ?

If I put slip ons on my 2008 FATBOY, will I need to change the air cleaner and get a fuel pack or power commander? What are some good medium loud slip ons? I don't know what is needed.
Remember that the only stupid question is the one not asked.

I have been told that if the baffles size is less 1.75" or less no fuel management is needed. A high flow air cleaner is also a good idea with slip ons.

NO need for the AC or fuel adders...
I'm sure you'll get a bunch chiming in on the slip-ons...

Get some cycleshacks. Great sound, great chrome and great prices. They are big perormers, but do not advertise, so they are cheaper.

I put a set of 2.0 on my 05 Deuce FI and did not need to re-map or add anything but my friend with a 08 Wide Glide did. I think for the money Rush are really nice and sound good but it is a personal choice check out Rush's web site they have sound bites.
Good luck in your search.

Tom from http://harleygoodies.com/ here. If you just do slip on's, nothing else is required you will be fine. Take my word for it and order up some new pipes! WooHoo!
