Exhaust Updates
I just purchased some Vance & Hines Duals and Ovals here on the forum for my '05 Road King Custom Fuel Injected - Will I need to purchase a Fuel Pak or other computer tuner? If so, does anyone have suggestions or opinions on the pros and cons of different brands? I am totally new to Fuel Injected bikes, so any help is welcome - I consider myself an idiot at this point concerning FI.

RE: Exhaust Updates
Might be a good idea a FuelPak works very well and very user friendly (30 min set-up & install) and don't forget the Air Kit... Would highly recommend Ness Big Sucker (cleanable filter)... Then your STAGE 1 will be done and you will improve your overall performance & sound...
Oh yea... If your going with a True Dual set-up you'll need to get a new set of exhaust gaskets...

RE: Exhaust Updates
I guess am wondering if the Fuelpak or any other fuel management system is really necassary. I want a good sound (the SE slipons just did not do it on this bike) but I am not really concerned with more power. However, I don't want to screw up the bike because it needed some type of aftermarket fuel management.

If you're just doing SLIP-ONS "ONLY" you dont have to .... But if your going over to True Duals & AIR KIT... you need to!

RE: Exhaust Updates
The bike already has the SE Air box and SE slipons - So I would assume the dealer did the stage 1 update on the bike - does this help anything when I install the true duals or will I need further fuel management?
Thanks again for all the help

Think the key word here is " *** U ME" (lol)...
If they did it... you should be ok... Do the change over and ride it... If it starts acting up (missing\less power\back firing ... etc...) - or after checking your spark-plugs for strange wear you can go from there...
If you have the SE Air Kit ya might want to change over to a K&N replacement filter (they're cleanable)
