Slip ons only?
If I go with wild pig slip ons only, can I get away without a fuel management? They have 1.75 baffles factory in them, so that is what I will have. I am trying to get away until I can order Vance and hines headpipes and Thundermax autotune in the next few months. If it will hurt anything, I wont do it. Basically I'm asking, what are you guys running and are you having problems? Thanks. By the way, 07 Elec Glide Classic.

RE: Slip ons only?
It is my understanding that if you go with "certain" mufflers only, you don't need any fuel management units added or a SERT download. When I asked about installing my V&H oval slip ons, I was told I *should* add the high flow air cleaner, *and* the Fuel Pak. I have seen people add the SE (Super trapp) muffler only to their bike, and they get more sound, but not much more than that.
I figure, if I'm going through the expense of adding new mufflers for better performance, I might as well go the rest of the upgrade with the high flow air filter and the fuel management as well!
It's kinda like putting a condom on your woody and then just staring at it, without even bothering to go the rest of the way!![:-]
Yeah, all revved up and no place to go! HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Cheers!

RE: Slip ons only?
I asked my local dealer the same question re: Wild Pigs. He said you can go to the 2.00 with no remap, but any further will require the download. I opted for the KN and slip ons at the same time .. and the download.

RE: Slip ons only?
like everyone else says, if you're just adding slip-ons, you probably don't have to re-map. however, have read a few posts where '07s running lean, ran even leaner with just slip-ons. I'd go with them, but keep an eye on the AFR via looking at how the plugs are burning (showing white).
