Remap after Jackpot Header install??
Looking to install Jackpot headers (2-1-2) on 09 SG. Have stage 1 AC and V&H Monster Ovals with HD ecm remap currently (with stock headers incl CAT). Bike runs great. But will I need to remap / install PCV etc, after new headers are installed?
thanks for advice in advance.

Youre going from a stock CAT system to a non CAT system with different mufflers so the flow will be different and could affect the over all performance. It is generally recommended that when ever a change is made to a motors performance design, a correct re-tuning should be done.
I have always been a supporter of getting a tuneable EFI vs a ECM flash. Yes it does cost more up front but in the long run, may be cheaper.

This is a very highly discussed topic and i would say 50% say yes to a tuner of some kind and others will say no tuner for a simple stage 1 (exhaust/ac). If you want some more performance then yes a tuner but if your just looking to have a little more sound and open the ac up a little then no. You say you have an hd ecm remap. Are you saying you have the stage 1 download? If yes then by opening up the exhaust and ac you have now brought it back to the stock lean condition which wont hurt anything.

Thank guys, I do have the HD stage 1 download done by LA HD. I just want a bit more exhaust noise as i find with the CAT its too quiet. Performance is fine currently (for me!) so if i put the JP Headers on you're saying that my current stage 1 download will be ok? no need to remap straight away?
thanks for fast replies guys!

I Don't know if I missed something while reading this, but the 09's
didnt have a cat. So i would think that it would not have to be remapped.
I may be wrong and have been known to be wrong many, many times!
