2012 Slim exhaust???
Greetings! First post on here since picking up my Softail Slim a couple of weeks ago. Lots of good info on this forum but I haven't been able to find a direct answer to the following question so I am hoping someone can square me away on this. I want to add a set of V&H Straightshot slip-ons to my Slim in order to help her sound better. My dealer has told me that if I do that, I also have to add an intake kit and have them tune the bike. The place I'm buying the slip-ons from says because the bike is fuel injected, I don't have to add the intake or do the tune. Eventually I will probably want to do the intake/tune but for now I just want to improve the exhaust. Can I add just the slip-ons without causing problems or damage to anything else on this bike? Thanks!

You can add just slip ons,and you will be fine. The rule is 1 mod,be it hi flow air filter or exhaust without a tune.
That being said without a tune and both pipes and a hi flow filter you won't really see much gain in hp or tq.

Thanks for the info metfan. I'm not really looking for any HP or torque imporvements right now, just a better sound. I wanted to make sure if I only add the slip ons that I don't have any mechanical problems like a burnt piston from the bike running too lean or that I don't cause any decreases in performance.
