Default Upgrading mufflers, should 2005 FLHT computer be flashed or not?

Have a 2005 FLHT and I'm installing Rush slip on mufflers with 2" baffles and will change my stock air cleaner to a K&N. Will the computer need to be flashed or not? Is there anything els I need to do to the motor after these changes?

If that is all you are going to do, you would be okay with a "stage one" download from the dealer. If you are thinking about doing anything else (cams, larger bore..etc) then you might want to consider a tuner of some type. You will find that there are several worthwhile options in that line.

Maybe some of the guys that have had the download done can give you an idea as to what it cost. I think its around a hundred bucks, but dont quote me on that.
