With the baffles, would I need to reprogram the Fuel Pak?

I had the BR on my bike a while back. They were really loud but that's what I wanted. I did put in some BCT Baffles to make them sound deeper. The BR can sound tinny...at least to me. If you want loud and deep the BCT's are the way to go. If you want quieter pipes you may want to go another direction.
I love my D&D Fatcat. It is not loud as the BR but sounds great and the performance is second to none.

I found something very interesting. Right now it is set for w/baffles, FP-0597. The value settings on the website are completely different than the values in the original paperwork that came with the FP. I think the first thing I will do is change the settings to the updated values.
