Default another exhaust question
I think I already know the answer, but I'd appreciate an expert opinion...

I just got new staggered pythons and the SE air cleaner for my 06 FLSTC(I), still waiting for the V&H Fuelpak to arrive. I'm really itching to install these pipes. Will it cause any damage if I install the air cleaner and exhaust without the Fuelpak?

Thanks!

Don't do it. The bike is already lean and if you install either the pipes or the AC, you will make it worse.

Thanks- that's what I thought. I'll keep the pipes in the box until I can do everything!
