Default help please!!!!!

well hello everyone,i'm new of course.i just bought a 2007 streetglide in june and i now have 2600 miles on it. my question is....andi hope i don't get answers that go opposite directions(then i'll be confused).i am wanting to put a slip on muffler on my bike with the stock headers left on. do i need the power commander or stage 1 air filter for this? i was told that as long as it was a SE SLIP-ON that i would not have to do the commander or air box mod.any help is greatly appreciated.thanks to all of you.Zach[sm=deal.gif]

welcome Zach...you should be O.K. with just slip-ons...but I strongly suggest you do the traditional stage-one...you'll be much happier with the outcome.

My understanding is you can change the mufflers only without a remap... If you do the stage one air then you will need a remap.
So. mufflers only, nothing else needs to be done to the bike.. I put SE slip on's on mine and didn't change anything else.

The computer can compensate for any S/O that you put on. You'll be fine.

You can install MOST slip-ons without a Fuel Management System or Air Kit.... But you'll not be improving the performance or cooling the engine down in any way - Just giving you more sound!

From all the post I have read everyone is saying no you don't need the remap. How ever you will not be satisfied later and want more that is when the remap comes in.

Even adding slip-ons on the 07's require a remap. In previous years you could add just slip-ons and be fine. With the new tuning on these bikes I would recommend you remap.
