Did you experience any issues with it running hotter?

 

First things first, congrats on the pipes, you are going to love them. Now..

I have a 09 FXSTC with the same setup except I went with the Power Commander V. I actually just got done installing my SE Stage 1 A/C this morning and with the map that Jamie from FuelMoto sent me, it runs like a champ. (I purchased the pipes and power commander from Fuel Moto). I have no idea how it will run without fuel management, but imho, I wouldnt go without it. If you were just doing slipons, then maybe.. but with a full exhaust I do not believe the o2 sensors/ECM will be able to adjust enough, if any at all..

edit: I originally said I put on a SE Heavy Breather, but I have the SE Stage 1 A/C

Btw, I live in Panama City, so hopefully we will pass each other while you are here. It would be cool to meet some folks from the forums while you guys are down.

 

Well what I'm trying to do is get these pipes on before my trip so I don't have to hang around a bunch of bikers with awesome loud pipes while I'm putting around with my squirrely stock pipes.

Unfortunately I don't have the time or money to get the air filter/tuner right now or the time to wait for them to come in even if I had the money.

What I'm trying to find out is what kind of issues can i cause if I just swap the pipes out and ride like that with no other changes.

 

I put the same pipes on mine the day I brought it home. Ran it like that for 6 months with no issues. Ended up putting on heavy breather and TTS once the fundage recovered a little. You'll be fine. By the way, I'll be at Thunderbeach as well. Where you riding from?

 

Riding in from N'awlins baby! I can't wait till the Thunder Beach Biker Girls/ Hooters Girls bike wash on next Saturday.

"Oh look, honey you missed a spot. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY down there. Don't see it? Check again one more time"


Thanks for the info. I'll be putting them on when I get home in a hour hopefully and will let ya'll know how it went.

 

Food for thought, take your time.. have any buddies that can help? I put mine on at the fire station and one of the guys there helped. Made lining things up a loooooot smoother.

 

Have fun at thunder beach! Are you taking 10 across the coast? Be careful if you ride highway 98 from Pcola to PC...lots of traffic, idiot tourists, and red lights every 1/4 mile until you get through Destin, where I live.

 

Well I have no tools myself (not a mechanic lol) so I brought it all to my dads and he doesn't have most of the tools we need either. We called a friend of his that works on bikes and he suggested not doing it until i can upgrade the intake and dyno it. So I guess thats what I'll do.

Unfortunately i won't be able to look pimpin for the rally, but I got $1800 coming from Uncle Sam in a few weeks so I guess I'll use that to have it all done at once. I guess it will be better for the bike that way. I will absolutely post pics as soon as it's done though

As far as the ride we will probably travel Interstate. It's kinda crappy riding all interstate, but We don't have the time to ride 98 all the way. That would take about 10/11 hours from where we could get on at Gulfport. Straight Interstate is only about 5/6 hours.

Thanks for all the info guys.

 

Maybe there will be some vendors there with the PC-V and intake.. lol! My money is on that you don't hold out.. it would eat at me too much.

 

congrats on the new pipes!! there pretty loud
