Default Hi air flow filter

I've installed my friends CVO slipons on my Ultra but just wondering can you install the HD hi air flow filter without installing a fuel management system a get any benefit? Will it work at all without getting it dyno tuned? Money an issue and just trying to do it in stages.

I am doing the same thing. The stock CVO pipes are suppose to be SE. I am going with a SE air cleaner kit also. I think you have to go with some sort of tuner or ECM download or the engine will run leaner than it already is, and thats not good. I can't decide if I want to go with FuelMoto or SE. Keep us posted on what you decide. Thanks

Installing slip-on generally does not require fuel management. Changing both exhaust and A/C will cause the engine to run more lean and hotter. So yes, either a fuel management system should be installed, or if you are using HD parts, the dealer my be able to flash the ECM depending on the HD parts installed. To save money, I would check and see what parts combinations they have a flash for.

To save money in the long run it is better to wait and choose a package and have it all done at once. Fuel Moto has some very good packages for an affordable price, and come highly recommended on these forums.
