Default Thunderheader without dyno tune
So I picked up a new TH on a deal I couldn't pass up I plan on doing a new A/C and tuner but don't have the money to do all that and get it dyno tuned but don't want to let the exhaust sit around lol can I put it on my stock bike without messing getting it tuned?

Sure, but don't plan on much improvement over stock. Just noisier.

When you go to buy your tuner and aircleaner check out Fuel Moto. They will sell you a power vision with a pre loaded map which saves you a fortune on dyno time.

I recently bought a PV from them with a pre loaded tune and my bike runs perfect, very impressed for the cost!

agree 100% and wish I had known this back when I bought my pv. Best advice you’ll get on the subject. If you install the exhaust without tuning it, you run the risk of the bike running even leaner/hotter than it does from the factory.

That's good to know I'll have to look into going that route thanks for the input

Wait until you have the ability to tune it correctly - your bike will run like crap if you throw the a/c and pipes on without it.

On my LR I installed a K&N air filter and a SE Nightstick with open end cap. The bike ran like crap, wouldn't even idle without stalling. Tuned the bike with V&H FP3, and now the bike runs great!

It's not worth it bud. Just save your money and do it all at once.

Don't cut corners. Without a tune, it'll run like ****. Do it right the first time.
