2009 Deluxe Pipe question
Hello
I am getting lots of different answers to this question
Please help if you have completed this kind of work on a bike
I want to change the stock pipes to true duels with fish tails
Do I need to remap and change air intake or just pipes?
Thanks Dean

I've seen discussion of guys who say that it's necessary to remap and change the a/c, and guys who say it's not.
Personally, I would do a full Stage I if I were going your route. Why have better flowing pipes if there isn't any additional flow coming in to begin with? I can understand the aesthetics part, but the performance will either suffer or remain the same.
What's stopping you from 1-upping the whole system?

Search through this forum for stage 1 upgrade you will find so many answers to this ? your head will spin. Personally even if you just do pipes get ahold of fuelmoto.com (site sponsor) and check into a powercommander V about $300 it will come mapped no dyno needed, easy install, and most importantly your bike will run much cooler. Hope this helps.
+1...if cash is an issue, just hold out until you can save up for a full stage 1.

Thanks for the help
Its not a question of money and as you say, do it rite is better the first time around
Its more Iam learning so did not know the rite way
Seems best for a cool run with the looks- air, pipes and re map
What do you guys think of the Vance and Hines system
Cheers Dean

I've got the V&H pipes and FuelPak on both of my bikes and I've had no issues and I'm very happy. If you're doing anything more than just the Stage 1 upgrade, then maybe you won't want the FuelPak. But if that's all you're doing, then the FuelPak is the easiest and cheapest solution. I recommend it.

I've got V&H pipes on both my bikes and the V&H Fuel Pak on my Deluxe. So far, I love my pipes and the Fuel Pak works well too. If I were you, Id go with V&H pipes and Power Commander....Just cause the PC is more scaleable if you ever make engine mods.

I have that set up on my 08 (just put fish tails on two nights ago). Go with the full stage 1 if you can. I would also go with the PC-V not the PC-III, seems you can do more with the PC-V then you can with the PC-III.
