Ok so I installed the fishtail slop one.... they came with louvered baffles. It sounds a lot better than stock but I'm thinking I'd like it a little bit louder. I want to ride it a little bit more first. Is it normal to hear pinging sounds from the pipes now when its shut off after riding? To be honest I don't remember hearing it before or not. I remember hearing years ago on my sporty with straight pipes.
So if I leave it alone now with just the slip one with louvered baffles then I don't have to re-map? Hahaha not really sure what map means for bikes..... just going what I read in the catalogs.

Please, do not waste your money on an add-on tuner! Vance&Hines now even make a flash tuner if ya are stuck on them. All the pipes, A/C, cams, etc. are useless without a proper tuner and tune.
