So you went from RKs to a Street Glide and then to a FatBoy? That's backwards! Most guys go from the Fatboys to either the Geezer Glide or to the Old King. Truth is... I wish I had one of each.

When I changed to a full Rush exhaust system while still using the stock Air Cleaner my bike would pop, hesitate stall and run lean as all heck. Buddy's bike (2010 Fatboy) did the same thing with the V&H Big Radius 2 into 2.
Problem solved after fuel tuner added. Also did the stage 1 Air Cleaner at the same time.

Very Nice...
I just bought the same bike about a week ago. I have had the itch to get another Bike for a while now, and the Denim Black Lo was calling my name. I have a hookup through V&H (friend is a distributer for them) and have a set of Staggered Big Shots and an Intake on order. They are telling me 1-2 weeks. I am thinking of doing the stage one flash from the dealer, and then adding their FuelPack when it comes out (they are telling me a couple months for the 12 model). Right now I am doing little mods (taillight, shift linkage, license plate braket, smoked signal lenses, grips, etc...)
Good luck with the new bike...

jtb,
You won't have any issue's just hooking up your pipes and riding. The ecm will pick it up just fine. I did it early on for about 5 months without any issues at all before I started my other mods.
Also, do NOT poke holes in your baffle! It sounds like chit and basically it sounds like you poked holes in your baffles!
Do it right and just bolt on your pipes and ride. Other upgrades are obviously better for performance, but are not nessesary. Ride on bro!

Yeah the ECM has no way to tell what exhasut is on the engine unless you are messing withe 02 sensors. The intake side is a different story so if you upgrade air cleaner and exhaust I would recomend getting the fuel pak when it comes out as it will work great with the pipes from VH.
