It's my understanding that just opening up the exhaust does not require a re-tune. Add an opened up intake and you will now need to re-tune as you are getting more air in and out causing a lean condition unless re-programmed.

I've had my Rush since new back in 07, 41K ago and they still look new.
I did have to redo the packing 2@ times. the last time they sent me enough packing to do it the New way as they now come double wrapped which should last a lot longer than the old single wrap they used to do.
Sometimes I think about changing the muffs for a 2-1 system, but I just like the sound of them soo much, I end up leaving them on.

Mine smelled pretty bad for a few weeks after install but I've had them about 6 months now and there is no plasticy sort of smell any longer.
I had a Stage 1 done and new air filter installed at the dealer, I do have some popping at decel so maybe I didn't need that but it's not too bad, the odd pop wakes me up.

Great to hear and I'd like to see some pics too.
What I don't get is, some say, even with slip ons, you need to add a better air cleaner AND a tuner. And some say you don't. So who do I believe?
I'm looking at Twin Slash 3" Slip Ons...model 16847, if that matters.

And you generally won't need to retune the bike.
But if you really want it to run at its peak, then adding a free flowing A/C and a tuner (and a dyno) will really unleash the beast...

Good to know. I'm just at a point where I need to save the money, instead of charging it...like I normally do. So it maybe early next year. Thanks for replying.

You don't really need to do any A/C or intake work but you probably will. You'll get a little popping on decel, especially when the weather gets warmer. Rush is nice quality and I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

Rush slip-ons
Installed Rush on my Electra Glide last week and they sound great. Only problem is with the powder coat on the tips, turned a nasty copper color. Hope to get that resolved soon, otherwise a terrific set of pipes.

I sometimes find them to be too loud especially after they get broken in. But other than going with SEs I don't know what else we could switch to.
We've never had any problems with decel pop and the bikes run fine and that's one reason I don't pull the plug on a tuner. Afraid I might start having issues like some others.
