Stage one and Dyno
That wasn't his question. It won't be worse... it will be the EPA approved AFR which is the same before and after. That will also be true of anything 'custom' done by an HD dealer because they have to comply with EPA. If he wants performance and AFR's outside of the EPA, then he needs to go to someone else than an HD dealer.
With that said to get to the original question?? it is not necessary to have it dyno'ed the bike will run OK without the HD re-map or fuel controler added with just the slip ons & stage 1 air cleaner and more than likely do ok. I really suggest at least getting the HD stage 1 re-map for the fuel curve & RPM inc adjustment along with the stage 1 air cleaner & muffler upgrades . The new HD factory ECM does a pretty darn good job of adjusting for these small changes but will keep things EPA compliant.
My new 2012 Fat Boy 103 has the V&H Twin Slash slip on round mufflers with the quiet battles & the HD re-map & stage 1 air cleaner (no Dyno done) & the bike runs just fine, nice & smooth good gas milage average 42 mpg, good power, no serging & nice sound ( plus the cats are gone they are in the original mufflers) I can not complain considering all. I would suggest the stage 1 & mufflers plus the HD-re-map from a cost stand point & give things a try first & see how you like it, you may be supprised...
