Default True duals flhtc question

Hey fellas I have an 09 electra glide that currently has a stage 1 kit and rinehart slip ons

I just bought a pair of rinehart true duals headers and wanted to know if there is any tuning of the engine required.

can I put them on and ride or should I have the dealership dyno it after install??

Thanks

You will need at least a stage 1 tune, and stage 1 aircleaner and sell me the slip ons real cheap since I was first to respond. The slips ons won't work with the headers, you will need 2" muffler inlets.

I appreciate the info
stage 1 was installed and tuned when I bought the bike.

I think my current slip on's should work according to the ad.........

09-UP TOURING RINEHART SLIMLINE DUALS CHROME TRUE DUAL HEADER KIT
These are Chrome headers only! Any after market slip-on mufflers with 1 3/4" inlet will fit these headers!

Rinehart offers their value-minded Slimline Duals System for the rider who swaps mufflers for a different look and sound. Since the Slimlines use factory headpipe size, they mean your choices for mufflers are wide open - you can run the Slimline Duals, or switch out to many popular factory or aftermarket offerings constructed to work with factory equipment. Available in an array of finishes, Slimline Duals represent a hefty dose of value - there's a lot of pipe here for the money. Rinehart makes good power and torque without busting the budget, and allows you to mix and match mufflers and head pipes.

-Increased horsepower and torque vs. stock Harley-Davidson exhaust systems

-Features a bold and aggressive look that can only be from Rinehart Racing

-More Muscle, More Choices, Sleeker Styling

-Designed and built in the U.S.A.

These are new-in-box, unopened header pipes. They come with a 1 year manufacturer's warranty.
Fitment: Fits 2009 - Later Touring models. For use with 3.5" or 4" slip-on exhaust pipes with 1 3/4" inlet

What is your definition of stage one kit?

Stock air cleaner or upgraded?

Are the exhaust headers stock now? Or upgraded?

Is there a fuel management/tuner system on it now? If so what one?

Ill just put the headers on and bring it back to them I'd rather not take the chance...

Installation of headers, bike will need to be retuned. Not necessarily a dynotune.

I honestly don't think you'll notice much difference between the 2 tunes. The 09 headers are open ( no cat) and going to the slim line won't change the exhaust flow very much at all. Especially not enough for a generic lean dealer download. Absolute waste of time and money on the dealer download. I would look into some type of fuel management system whether it be a piggy back style or flash style. All dependent on any future mods you have planned. You'd be money ahead IMO.
