I recently purchased Vance & Hines Shortshots Staggered Exhaust System and was wondering if i had to remap my bike? I wanted the pipes just for sound becuase the stock pipes sound weak, but the dealership told me i need to run a power commander, a Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather Performance Air cleaner Kit, and a tune up if im going to run these pipes. Is it necessary to do all of this or can i do one thing at a time?

 

Just changing the exhaust shouldn't present a problem. If you upgrade the a/c then you will need some sort of programmer. Sounds like they are trying to sell you a stage 1 or MAYBE trying to cover their butt on the off chance that your bike is sensitive to changes. I didn't have mine 2 weeks before I put on slip-ons with no issues. Obviously full pipes may flow a little better, but should be fine.

 

Thank you for your input ill throw them on and see how they work and if anything, i can take it to them if i see a problem.
