Default Performance Question

I have an 05 Road King Classic that is fuel injected. When i got it the guy had an Arlen Ness Stage 2 air cleaner on it, but has stock pipes. He said it was remapped to the stock pipes. The question is can I put on some aftermarket pipes without using a power commander?

Was it remapped with the dealer download?

As far as I know the dealer did the remap, the guy didn't wanna spend the cash on pipes.

If you know who the dealer is they should be able to tell you if it was remapped using the download. You should find out for sure. If they did you will be still be lean when you add free flow mufflers but not likely to hurt anything.
