Default Another Noob Question

I have a 07 883c.My qustion is when i bought it.It has Vance & Hines slip ons on.So does that mean it had been remapped and a stage 1 added to it? The air filter on it is stock.My brother in law thinks it has.She's very loud.

There is really no good way to tell. Does it have a stock aircleaner? Have you looked for any type of piggy-back tuner?

I kind of doubt if its been remapped with just slip ons and the stock A/C. Have the dealer run the serial number to see whats been done at the dealer

Most likely with the slip ons and a stock air cleaner it's not been remapped. I have the same configuration and I haven't done it. It runs well.
