Question Exhaust Question ?

Hey everyone,

So I picked up a set of Cycle Shack slip-on exhaust for my iron from a friend who bought them for a superlow which he traded in to move up to a wideglide within a week ... he didnt even install them. Anyway my question is they are installed and I just used the gaskets from the stock setup ( the gaskets that attatch to the black support ) should they be ok and also just wanted to make sure that I dont need a fuelpack or a tune if I am still using the OEM intake...

Thank you
MAtt

If the gaskets aren't leaking, then I would say they are fine. Don't waste your money on a tune for just your mods.

Your bike will run better, smoother power delivery If you
add the X14ieD's and with that pipes and Hi flow A/C will be ok.
These things turned my plugs a nice coffie n cream color.
No more white chalky too lean color.
Changes the EPA compliant lean AFR from 14.7
to 14.0,,,Plug n play.
No loss In mpg.
Best $110 I ever spent.

I'll def have to look into them I hear a lot of people say good things about them ... I think I am going to wait until winter though before I buy anything else for her and just enjoy the ride for now ... as long as Im not doing any damage to the engine without a tune Im happy with the way it ides/sounds for now
