I have a 2010 Ultra. Thinking of switching to a high flow air cleaner. Good idea or bad? What can I expect to see different? Also will I need to make any other adjustments to anything if I switch? Thanks

I have considered buying a tuner. Just not the most technically inclined. Working to learn how to make changes on my own. Thanks for the help.

Truthfully the ECM will adjust to mufflers and an A/C, so you should be fine. I'm sure others here might disagree, but the ECM and sensors would adjust to those changes.
The Micro Tuner is pretty easy to install, it plugs in in-line with your 02 sensors, and a wire to the battery, not rocket science by any means.
sorry, not trying to hijack the thread here, but did I miss something? Always before I have had to use a tuner with EFI bikes when changing the AC.
My last bike was a 06 and I just bought a 2012 last summer. I too am thinking about adding a big sucker AC (have decatted headpipe with slip-ons) Will these newer bikes self adjust without needing a tuner?
he has a cat- the cat would be the bottleneck to flow even with more open intake- if the gasses are constricted somewhere else, such as the cat in the exhaust, there won;t be much of a change.
for the OP, the best bang for buck air cleaner is the ness big sucker-usually under $120 on ebay from easternpc.
this is an easy install, the throttle body brace stays in place.
get the version with the chrome backing plate, that better complements the chrome and black motor.
the filter media is a washable, reusable, oiled cotton.
tuning compensation with nightrider.com xieds/vieds will be all you'd need for about $130. 5 minute install
