Planning to buy a slip on to my EGC. Is it really needed to add a fuel management? I only want a litle bit more of sound

Default slip on

No, if you are just slipping on a new muffler you don't need any fuel management because you're air fuel ratio should remain the same as before...I believe

Nope, you're good with just the slip-on. I have an 09 Ultra Classic. I put the Bub 7 slip-ons on the bike two years ago. I've done nothing else. the bike runs great and sounds great.

I've just begun thinking of going with a slip-on, so this question was something I've just recently begun to think about. Would the same go with Monster Ovals? From what I've heard they're not loud but just a nice deep tone? No other alterations necessary on a totally stock 09 RK?
