slip ons too expensve to put on?
Well, I want great sound on my 2010 fatboy. So I decided on vance and hines slip on. I ordered at the dealer. about $330 and quiet baffle around $30.
Good price so far but the mechanic told me I better get the engine tuned and dyno(I have no idea what it is) and new air filter. The total comes up about $1600 out the door. I agreed to do it oh boy that is incredibly expensive. I am not sure whether I am doing this right or not. Or is there any other cheaper way to get it done right. What do you think?

with only slip-ons and no new intake you don't really NEED a new map for your ecm.. it would help with the already lean stock condition but you don't HAVE to do that.. I say install the slip-ons yourself. they are easy.

Call him and stop the work. You should be able to get all the parts you need for maybe $700-800. You can install it all yourself. Get the V&H FuelPak and you won't need the dyno. You can install it all yourself in a couple hours and you'll save about $800 and feel really good about yourself.

I bought mine from dennis kirk off here for around $256 and put them on myself in about 40 minutes and 3 beers. You do not need to remap unless you change you breather which is going to be my next step them put a fuel pack or something on but not HD.
