Default Question about stage 1

Im installing a PCV, (no AT) SE Heavy Breather and V&H Big Radius pipes on my Rocker today. If I was to choose to remove the baffles from the Pipes would I need to remap? I doubt very much that I would want to, but with all of the different tastes of everyone on the forums I read both sides, "they are to loud" or "they are not loud enough" lol... I would just like to know if I have the option without having to plug in the laptop.

Thanks in advance
Kip

V&H request that you use their fuel pak ( I have one on my bike) If you add more air
you will need to add more fuel. Baffles are a personal choice, if you add the fuel pak
it will give the codes for the V&H pipes you have with or without baffles. Very easy
to install and worth the price. Just my 2cents

Yes. Re-map with any changes to the exhaust (with a breather kit), that includes with other types of baffles (big city thunder) or baffless.

So i get the PCV mounted on my Rocker, much more difficult than it was on my ultra btw. Start to install my heavy breather, get to the point where I have to attach the backplate and find the kit has the wrong bolts in the package, there are supposed to be (3) that mount the backing plate, and (3) that mount the breather tube. Instead it comes with (2) that mount the backing plate and (4) that dont fit anything. so I'm stuck until I can find the correct bolts. Unfortunately I purchased it from HD online, and will have to contact someone to ship me 4 freekin bolts. Arg! Bike is down and its going to be beautiful weather this week too.... I wonder if a local HD dealer would have the correct mounting bolts?
