This seems to be what I post the most:

Get a PCIII from Jamie at FuelMoto...he'll CUSTOM Map it for your bike and she'll run like a Bat outta HELL!!!
Install takes all of 10 minutes.

What say you fellas?

Thanks,

For the mostpart, you are correct in your thinking Klaybus. If changing just the exhaust, you really do not need to do a re-map because you are not pulling in more air which would alter the fuel/air mixture. If you change the AC and exhaust, then you need the re-map to adjust the fuel/air mixture.

What condition are the plugs and wires? Might want to pull those first and check them. That's the cheapest and easiest to do.
