Guess it matters if ya want the bike to perform properly or not. Factory tune is lean. Any airflow improvements just make it worse. Proper tuner and tune should be the first mod imho.

Not if you just do the mufflers. With an air cleaner yes you do

+1 to what was already said. As I understand it, as long as you're ONLY doing slip ons, you don't need to have it tuned. UNLESS you are doing the CFR slip-ons. Each company that I've talked to about buying the CFR's say you DO need to tune if you buy them. I couldn't tell you exactly why, I'm sure there are smarter people here that could, but that's what I'm being told by sites that sell them. Just my .02.

I just purchased the RC components slip-ons. Haven't received them yet, but I read great reviews, they come with some really good choices for end caps and have a great sound. And I got them for about $460. Seemed easier to me to just get slip-ons until I decide what exhaust I'll want permanently.
