RE: Pipes without the extras?
That's a wide open question. It depends on the motor set-up, what pipes your installing, and whether or not you make 'em air tight. There's no way to say without a doubt what can and can't be done, even if you gave more info.

Thats a true statement. But... Most of the time it dont make a bit of difference. Most likely if there wasanything you would notice would be a little popping when shes cold. The intake will make more difference than the exhaust.

Yeah, but even then you won't know until you do it. I experience the popping at high RPM's until my bike is nice and warm. I epxect that's what most people will get as well. But even that's not a sure thing.

Back when I rented bikes, one place removed the slip ons and knocked all the plugs out of the stock mufflers to make them sound better. None of them seemed to pop on decel and they ran flawlessy!
I think you can on a fuel injected bike as long as you keep the stock air cleaner installed. Try it and let us know!

I am running my 007 Ultra with a pair of 1.75 Rush slip ons with no other mods, the dealer said I was ok as long as I do not change out the AC without the remap. I have been running this way for 2,000 miles with no problems.

RE: Pipes without the extras?
I consider a remap very important even on a totally stock motor to correct the EPA mandated overly lean condition that these bikes are shipped with. How you go about this depends on your future upgrade plans. The couple of hundred bucks for a fuelpac or other low end enrichment device is cheap insurance.
