Default Another Simple Question....

Hey, guys.... Just bought an '05 Deuce & wanted to make some noise before I decided
on a final exhaust set-up, so... I bought a set of SE-II slip-on's. In the reading I've done,
it says nothing about re-programming the chip (ie: Stage-I). Is that true, or do I need to upgrade ?

Thanx !!

If you haven't opened up the intake with more air and only changed your exhaust.... you're good to go.
