you would violate the terms and conditions of your powertrain warranty, even with SE tuner

If you use anything other than MOCO parts your warranty is toast (excluding slip-ones)

A caveat:
it depends on the dealer working on your bike. As I recall others saying, so long as nothing has to ship back to the MoCo, some dealers are OK with what you use. I am unsure on the tuner, to be honest-but, my dealer does NOT have an issue with aftermarket parts and warranty. I plan on putting decatted heads on mine, which would, technically, void the warranty. But they would work on it still. Mind you, I did NOT discuss the tuner, as I plan on using the SE tuner anyway. But, I would check with your local dealer and see what they say.
THAT being said, what YOUR dealer does, and what ANOTHER dealer will do, could be opposite. If its all authorized parts, there is no confusion. But, one dealer doing warranty work-if you ever need it-may not care about aftermarket parts. Another may be strictly by the book.

Why do ppl continue to spout these lies/misconceptions? That's simply not true. As long as your slip ons don't require you to modify your bike outside EPA guidelines, then you're fine. And PLEASE lets not make this another warrany thread! We have enough of them.

dude, chill. Warranty is a major part of the OP’s objective and is confused and asking questions about it so he can make an educated decision on which direction to go, and we’re trying to help him with that

Dude, I am chill. and I was referring to the comment about slip ons voiding warranties specifically so the OP Doesn't get confused and the wrong kind of information.

Ok just reread the post about slip ons. Sorry I guess now Im contributing to the confusion. He said (excluding slip ons). Again, sorry I misread.

I have 2 different exhausts that I swap back and forth from. I used the 22x cam, FM headpipe, S&S Grand Nationals (with the supplied dB killers), and PV tuner (Fuel Moto setup). It’s surprisingly tame (noise). I actually prefer it for my longer trips. This bike hasn’t been on the dyno, yet... I’m waiting till I go 128 or trade for my next bike and do the 128 on delivery. However, my last bike was a 107 with the 475 cam, FM headpipe, MK45’s, and PV. My local tuner was able to get nearly identical results as what FM posted in their dyno shootout. I believe I was 1 hp and almost 1 ftlb higher than FM.

My 50 state legal S&S Sidewinder is substantially louder.

Are you referring to the Red Shift 468 cam?
Street cannons slip on only?
This setup still voids the warranty correct?
Will Dealer do an install like this?

Sorry but I cant refer to the service tech this late at night. I want to doo all my homework before I go back there again.
