Hey guys, sorry if this is addressed somewhere and I missed it. My fp3 will be here tomorrow, I have an 07 FXD, S&S stealth intake setup and a set of Cobra RPT's slip-ons. Should I use the generic exhaust setup or choose the Vance and Hines 3inch slashcut slipons? I have been told both will work, any idea which would be better, the directions say to choose the closest pipes to yours if they are not listed.

Thanks

 

I called them and did the set up with them guiding me thru it

 

highly likely it doesn't matter, it's only a stage 1 and you should autotune the VE tables anyway

 

Intakes are all high flow so no selection there. Do some online searches of their slip ons and select size closest to yours. Or email and they will likely say Power Duals with twin slash rounds

I am in the middle of that process right now. 2013 1200c, Bassani 3" Firepower slip-ons.
After a couple of tries and a lot of reading I contacted V&H and spoke to Chenye. He suggested the V&H 3" slash cut map. Run several tanks of gas and then upload the map to him which I did, He tweaked it sent it back and told me to start with the auto tune which I am now. Bike runs like S***. From what I have read that is to be expected and a complete auto tune with a map that is mostly full can take 1500 miles depending how you ride. Most who have done it really like the results, I hope I am one of those in the end. Cheyne has been very helpful.

 

Well, I used the Vance and Hines 3 inch slash cut slip-ons as my base map and just took her for a little ride, about 70 miles. Weather outside is pretty nice, about 81 degrees and sunny. Decel pop, gone, had a slight crackle for about 15 miles on decel but after that is sounded good, I couldn't even get it to pop a little. Engine temp stayed between 228 and 234 while running about 50 to 60 mph, went as far up as 287 sitting at a light, it felt cooler to me. She is also idling much smoother and acceleration seems better and I did not have to downshift as often, much less pinging.
So, I am thinking, Just leave it alone, no auto tune. If I run auto tune, maybe after two tanks of fuel? what do you guys think?
Thanks.

 

give the auto tune a try if you don't like it change it back , I did the a/t time 2 up and solo and happy with the tune

 

Check your codes ...it's not saying too rich is it?

 

See this bothers me... I would be much more comfortable if there was just a tad more honesty floating around in all of this smoke n mirrors...

drinking a couple of tankfuls of fuel is simply giving the delphi CLI/AFF processes a chance to sort out a duff tune.

Autotune either does what it says on the tin, or it doesn't. And autotune making things worse ...is NOT doing what it says on the tin.

Hopefully V&H will drop the "tankful of fuel" comment from the guidance when it comes out

 

No codes after this run. everythings seems to be good.

I will be riding up to Charleston later in the week, about 55 miles each way, I will run an auto tune then,that should be plenty of different running conditions.
