Default Exhaust Question

A buddy of mine has a 2008 Street Glide with factory exhaust. He is wanting to get more rumble out of his bike without changing the intake or having to do any kind of reprogramming on the computer. If you just do one of the slip on exhaust do you need to do any type of reprogramming? What are some recommendations to get more rumble, but not get so loud that it is annoying on a long trip? Thanks in advance for any info you might have.

No, no reprogramming needed, and the exhaust, well, that's a personal preference thing, so I will only say it's best to listen in person to a couple different ones.

From what I have found,,up to a 2" baffle you should not need any fuel management,,but change to a high flow air breather,,then you do,,I have 2" baffles on my ultra,,and they rumble good,,I can still hear my radio when cruising,,,and they sing out when I hit the throttle hard,,
