Trying to confirm

I recently bought an '08 Ultra Classic 105th Anniversary. I live in un-sunny Seattle, but still the heat from the bike is kicking (plus I do a lot of travelling to VERY sunny areas). So, I have on order V&H Monster Oval slip-ons, a RJsorignial heat shield, a Arlen Ness Big Sucker, a HD oil cooler, and a PCIII.

My question is: With a PCIII and a good dyno, is it necessary/recommended to also get a XIED?

No, you don't use XIED's if you're using a PCIII

Once again, good poop! No need if you've got the PCIII.

Just my opinion (although shared my many).

I too would recomend a SERT with a dyno tune over a PCIII, however, keep in mind that any dyno tune is only as good as the technician doing the tuning.
