Changing exhaust on 2013 Street Glide
I have a new Street Glide and as many of you know, the stock exhaust sucks for sound, unless you want it to sound like a Honda. I want to put on some aftermarket pipes but when I bought the bike, the HD parts guy told me when you change the exhaust and/or intake you have to get it tuned. Coming from a carbureted older bike, this was new to me. While I understand what he means due to being fuel injected and all. I'm wondering is it absolutely imperative to have it tuned or can I do the exhaust and still run the bike, and have it tuned down the road sometime? Anyone have experience with this? Thanks!

Here is my bet, you change the pipes to get better sound but now you get decel pop, so now you will want a fuel tuner. I know it is a pain to spend more money after buying a brand new bike but purchasing a quality fuel tuner and added a Stage 1 ac will be worth every penny - more performance and a cooler running bike. I like my Power Vision fuel tuner, because no matter what I do to the bike, I can adjust my tune. The tune may not be as good as a dyno tune, but I don't have to take it in again and again if I change something.
