Additional Dyno Time ??
Hi All:
Bought a new 2011 RKC last year and had a Stage 1 upgrade done with Supertuner and set of VandH twin slash ovals and high flow A/F. Bike has a stock header and after a year, I've decided I want the bike louder without sacrificing performance (of course).
Research tells me I need to change the header....After I get a new header (looking at the VandH power duals), do I need to have the bike retuned on the Dyno ?
HD dealer of course tells me it must be done but others namely VandH say it's not necessary.....
Any shared input and/or past experiences would be great.
Thanks !!

Because you have the original header, I'm assuming the cat. converter is still in place. Assuming that's true, if you install a new catless header I'm thinking you need to have it tuned. I know I would. You're changing the dynamics of the whole exhaust section with the cat gone and a different header. I'd pay the $250-300 to have it tuned on the dyno - then you know.
