Question exhaust

I am a new owner of a 2006 Road King Classic. I love it but am checking into new slip-ons to increase the sound. I've read several good reviews on Wild Pig Pipes and will probably go this route. I've also been reading alot about what I need to do to make the change but I am still confused. I understand that I need to get a new air intake but can someone explain the fuel adjustments. I've seen information about a TFI control and about a stage 1 download. Do I need both? Will the stage 1 download be all I need? Will the TFI control negate the need for the stage 1 download? I'm mainly doing it for the sound and not to add performance and I'm also on a tight budget so if I can do one and not the other it would be great.

Lots of questions. Try the same post in the tech area and touring area, and you will get a lot of responses. Welcome from New Mexico.

Welcome from Florida! If you only add the pigs, and don't touch the air intake all will be ok. I had a set of pigs on my 05 king and they sounded awesome!
